Turin/Milan, 17 January 2024 – Intesa Sanpaolo is the first bank in Europe and in Italy, second in the world[1], among the 100 most sustainable listed companies in the world, according to the ranking of Corporate Knights, a leading sustainable-economy media and research company, that every year, on the occasion of the World Economic Forum in Davos, presents the results of a research that evaluates and compares more than 6,700 large global companies listed on the stock exchange.
