Commitment to environment and climate
Act today for the climate
to achieve the goals of today and tomorrow
In the 2026-2026 Business Plan, Intesa Sanpaolo has confirmed the commitments to decarbonization, specifically – in relation to 2050 net zero – the 2030 targets for financed and own emissions, asset management and insurance business.
Intesa Sanpaolo is committed to promoting environmental sustainability by integrating this objective into its strategy, with a commitment to support the green transition which aims at supporting businesses as well as reducing its emissions.

Environmental protection and attention to climate change are dimensions reflected in the Group’s values and in the codes and rules that guide its operations.
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. Also the Rules on biodiversity and nature are available
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.
