ESG Strategy
Our vision
We have always believed in a bank that creates lasting value — not only through its financial performance, but through the way it supports people, businesses and local communities towards a sustainable future.
The Monte dei Paschi di Siena Group is built on deep-rooted foundations while looking towards new horizons, guided by the conviction that sustainability, resilience and responsible growth are inseparable. The well-being of our customers and the communities we serve is our guiding star.
Our role
We are a bank that:
- works alongside local communities,
- supports the real economy,
- helps drive the transition towards fairer, more inclusive and lower-carbon models of development.
Sustainability is not a separate area of business. It is a way of banking. It shapes our strategic decisions, informs our business model and strengthens the trust placed in us by our stakeholders.
Our commitments
- Responsibility and governance
We operate with transparency, integrity and accountability. We integrate ESG factors into our strategic decision-making, risk management frameworks and governance processes through dedicated policies, a structured system of metrics, KPIs and monitoring, ongoing stakeholder engagement, and a long-term perspective. - Climate transition and environmental stewardship
We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and contributing to the transition towards a low-carbon economy. We pursue clear decarbonisation targets across our operations and support customers on their own transition journeys, turning change into opportunities for sustainable growth. - Sustainable finance in support of the real economy
We channel capital towards projects that generate environmental and social value. Through responsible products, services and financial solutions, we support households, SMEs and businesses in their sustainability transition, while promoting financial inclusion and the development of local communities. - People and culture
We put people at the heart of what we do. We foster an inclusive, fair and respectful working environment, value diversity, and invest in skills and capabilities, promoting a shared ESG culture rooted in responsibility. - Communities and local areas
We strengthen our social role through financial education initiatives, support for the most vulnerable members of society, and partnerships with institutions and local organisations, contributing to social cohesion and collective well-being.
Our approach
We turn our vision into action through:
- clear and measurable objectives,
- well-defined responsibilities,
- ongoing monitoring of results,
- transparency towards all our stakeholders.
For us, sustainability is about consistency and a daily commitment. It embodies our responsibility for the future we are helping to build.
