Commitment to environment and climate
Act today for the climate
to achieve the goals of today and tomorrow
Intesa Sanpaolo has chosen to pursue the "Net Zero" goal by 2050 - for its own emissions, for loans and investments portfolios, asset management and insurance business - by joining: the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), through Eurizon Capital SGR, Fideuram Asset Management SGR and Fideuram Asset Management Ireland, to the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative (NZAMI) and through Intesa Sanpaolo Vita to the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance (NZAOA) and the Net-Zero Insurance Alliance (NZIA).
In the 2022-2025 Business Plan, the commitment was confirmed through the publication of the carbon neutrality target for own emissions already in 2030 with 100% of energy purchased from renewable sources at Group level, targets aligned with net zero by 2030 in the following sectors (Oil&Gas, Power Generation, Automotive, Coal mining) and by protecting and regenerating natural capital.
Intesa Sanpaolo has always been committed to promoting environmental sustainability by integrating this objective into its strategy with an important commitment to support the green transition which aims at supporting businesses and the circular economy as well as reducing its emissions.
The ecological transition is an innovation process that promotes the transition from an economic, social and environmental model that is dissipative and extraneous to the environmental context in which it is inserted, to a system of regenerative production and consumption that has economic, social and environmental sustainability as its goal.
The path towards ecological transition and Net Zero commitments are fundamental to guaranteeing a future for present and next generations. It is necessary to set concrete objectives to overcome the difficult challenge of climate change.

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 on 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.
