Support to the community
In 2018 the Intesa Sanpaolo Group recorded an overall contribution to the community, measured by the London Benchmarking Group standard, amounting more than 67 million euro. The most significant share (97.9%) comes from EU nations, where the Group conducts the majority of its business activity, 0.92% from other European countries, 1.18% from Africa and a minimun quota from South America.
The greater part of this contribution (61.7 million euro) was granted in cash, while the remaining consists of management fees (4.7 million euro) and, in small part, of contributions in terms of time (corporate volunteering) and contributions in kind.
Cash contribution is broken up into three main categories according to the reason of contribution, as follows:
- about 54.9% consists of community investments - contributions characterised by long-term plans and/or strategic partnerships and/or of sizeable amounts - which show an ever greater strategic characterization of the Group’s community activity aimed at longer term collaborations that can bring a real benefit to the community;
- 39.3% is made up of commercial initiatives (mainly sponsorships) with community benefit, which contribute to social causes while benefiting Intesa Sanpaolo brand and business;
- the remaining 5.8% is made up of non-continuous donations, characterised by occasional nature and lesser amounts.
Arts and Culture is the most significant area of intervention (50% of cash contributions), with 30,9 million euro allocated.
