The new 2026–2029 Plan further strengthens our social commitment, allocating €1 billion to initiatives aimed at tackling poverty and inequality, while continuing to support the sustainable transition: 30% of new medium- to long-term lending will be directed towards social and environmental activities, alongside our ongoing commitment to decarbonisation.”
