In order to give impetus and tangible support to the green and circular economy, the Group has committed itself with specific plafonds and developed wide and diversified offer of financing and consulting products, dedicated to all types of customers, in Italy and abroad.

UN SDGs SUPPORTED

Green - Mutuo Domus is a subsidised mortgage (reduction of the APR and free energy certification for renovation purposes) which makes it possible to purchase and build a residential property in Italy with a high energy efficiency class (equal to or higher than B) or to renovate a residential property in Italy with an improvement of at least one energy class.

Green mortgages make it possible to finance not only the purchase or construction of an energy-efficient property, but also the improvement of the energy performance of a property through, for example, the installation of energy-efficient windows and boilers or solar and photovoltaic panels, or the purchase of environmentally friendly vehicles.

S-Loans are designed to support small and medium-sized enterprises both to improve their overall sustainability profile and to achieve specific ESG targets through contractually defined KPIs. These indicators are subject to annual monitoring, certified by the company in the Notes to the financial statements. Businesses that meet their targets are rewarded with reductions in the cost of the loan.

The circular economy offers new business opportunities to companies and contributes to the eco-sustainable transition of the economic system by reducing the consumption of natural resources. To support its development with the new Business Plan, Intesa Sanpaolo has renewed the commitment already made with the previous Plan by allocating a plafond of EUR 8 billion (for the green and circular economy, with specific incentives).

The Group is a strategic partner of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the main promoter of the global transition to the circular economy, with which it has defined criteria for assessing the level of circularity of the initiatives proposed by companies.
