Support to the community
Our commitment to the community is substantiated annually in a range of various kinds of contributions which in 2021 totalled almost 87 million euros.
The main action areas in which monetary contributions were made in 2021 were support for art and culture, amounting to 32.2 million euro (29.7 million euro in 2020), social solidarity for 17 million euro (24.8 million euro in 2020), education and research for 8.3 million euro (the amount disbursed in 2020 was about 6.8 million euro), health for 5.5 million euro (about 106 million euro in 2020), and economic development for 4.9 million euro (3.1 million euro in 2020).
In 2021, monetary contributions were classified based on their reason and broken down as follows:
- about 44% is made up of investments in the community: contributions characterised by long-term plans and/or strategic partnerships and/or of sizeable amounts. This is a significant share and has grown compared to 2020, demonstrating the strategic nature of the Group’s activities, geared towards long-term partnerships that can guarantee real benefits and value for the territory.
- 46% is made up of commercial initiatives (sponsorships) that contributed to social causes while promoting Intesa Sanpaolo Group’s brand and business. In 2021, it represents the most significant share of cash donations and has also grown compared to 2020.
- the remaining 10% 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). The downward trend is affected by the 100-million-euro donation that the Group disbursed in favour of the National Health Service in 2020 to give immediate support to the healthcare system in order to address the COVID-19 emergency, an extraordinary crisis that involved the whole society.
