Unicredito Italiano
Italy
Offering commercial, retail, and investment banking and financial services, Unicredito Italiano understands that it must provide services that meet the needs of today without compromising those of future generations. Unicredito purchases a significant amount of renewable energy and is a supporter of the Kyoto Club, which aims to contribute to the Kyoto conference's objectives. The company has created a Carbon Solutions Team, which participates in emissions trading and promotes initiatives to finance clean development mechanism and joint implementation projects. Additionally, Unicredito has launched a Clean Energy loan, a financing program to help owners install photovoltaic solar panels on their properties. In 2005, Unicredito Italiano acquired HVB Group, a German-based financial group that also meets Portfolio 21's criteria. HVB Group brings strengths in environmental risk analysis and communicates these issues with its customers to raise awareness and propose more environmentally safe alternatives. By charging higher lending costs for projects with greater environmental risk, the company creates incentives for improved environmental measures. Portfolio 21 has asked Unicredito Italiano to improve its reporting to include all group companies and an expanded set of key performance indicators.
