The Forest
There are so many ways to tell you who we are. Describing you our approach to the future is one of them. That is also because our way of heading to tomorrow is deeply rooted in our over 450 years of entrepreneurial history: we listen to questions and strive to turn them into answers.Today we are the largest private and independent banking group in Italy. We have over 5 thousand employees, we are present in 7 countries and have 300 branches throughout Italy. Our activities include commercial and retail banking, private and wealth management, corporate & investment banking, payment systems, open banking and information technology services.We foster, operate and are an open innovation ecosystem committed to sustainable growth. We give support to the ideas and entrepreneurship of startups and businesses through our Sellalab Innovation Centre. We have founded and stimulate the Italian fintech community: the Fintech District of Milan. We have launched the first open banking platform in our country. We do all this by putting the interests of our customers before our own in the awareness that in a medium and long-term perspective, those interests coincide.
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
