Environmental protection and attention to climate change are key dimensions of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group's responsibility and the importance of this commitment is first of all reaffirmed in the group's values ​​and in the codes and rules that guide its way of operating.

Clear examples of this are the Code of Ethics, the Rules for the environmental and energy policy, the Guidelines for the governance of environmental social and governance risks (ESG) and, in order to support the transition to a low-carbon economy, also the Rules for the coal sector and the Rules for lending operations in the unconventional oil&gas sector.

Thanks to these foundations, the Bank is able to set up action plans and processes that allow it to manage its activities, environmental risks and related mitigation actions in an integrated and constructive way.
