Support to the community
Intesa Sanpaolo’s commitment to the Community is substantiated annually in a range of various kinds of contributions which in 2020 totalled more than 190 million euro (194 million euro if we consider the contribution from the UBI Banca Group for the August-December period) an increase of 106% compared to 2019.
The main action areas in which monetary contributions were made in 2020, driven by the COVID-19 health emergency were: healthcare for 105.8 million euro (2.5 million euro in 2019), support for art and culture, amounting to 28.6 million euro (51.2 million euro in 2019), social solidarity for 24.7 million euro (14 million euro in 2019), civil and humanitarian emergencies for 13 million euro (0.7 million euro in 2019), education and research for 6.4 million euro, whereas the amount given in 2019 was 7 million euro, and economic development for 2.8 million euro (5.6 million euro in 2019).
In 2020, cash contributions were classified based on their reason and broken down as follows:
- about 19% is made up of investments in the community: contributions characterised by long-term plans and/or strategic partnerships and/or of sizeable amounts. This percentage is growing compared to 2019 and represents the most important part of the Group’s monetary donations, demonstrating the strategic nature of its activities, geared towards long-term partnerships that can guarantee real benefits and value for the territory
- 19% is made up of commercial initiatives (sponsorships) that contributed to social causes while promoting Intesa Sanpaolo Group’s brand and business
- the remaining 62% is made up of non-recurring charitable gifts, of an occasional nature and for small amounts, including match giving initiatives (donations from the Bank during fundraising campaigns, combined with the donations from employees or customers).
