The project
A concrete commitment to the local area
“Growing while making a positive impact is the path we want to continue following; we cannot ignore the need for sustainable growth. To be successful, companies must create value for the society in which they operate, and they can do so only if they change and adapt to broader global shifts. After all, setting sustainable goals for a business isn’t just a “good” thing to do—it has become a genuine economic necessity.”
Storytelling
The story of the project
There are many ways to tell you who we are. Sharing our vision for the future is one of them. Throughout more than 450 years of family business history, we have been committed to listening to your questions and turning them into answers.
Today, we are Italy’s largest private and independent banking group. We have over 5,000 employees, operate in 7 countries, and have 300 branches throughout Italy.
Our business activities include commercial and retail banking, private and wealth management, corporate and investment banking, payment systems, open banking, and information technology services. To contribute to sustainable development, we promote, operate, and embody an open, innovative ecosystem.
We support ideas and entrepreneurship through SellaLab, our innovation hub for startups and businesses. We founded and lead the Italian fintech community, the Fintech District in Milan. We launched Italy’s first open banking platform. We do all of this by putting our customers’ interests before our own, because we know that, in the long run, they align.
