Sustainable development in Veneto: Banca Ifis adheres to the MoU
Banca Ifis is the first and to date the only, credit institute to have adhered to the Memorandum of Understanding for
Sustainable development in Veneto. The protocol, which runs for 3 years and can potentially be extended beyond
this, is an expression of the regional commitment to achieving the UN 2030 Agenda goals.

The aim of the initiative is to define a regional sustainable development strategy and monitor its performance on the
basis of new needs, identifying strengths and weaknesses along the route towards complete social, economic,
environmental and institutional sustainability.
