| 2020 Consolidated Non-Financial Statement
• With the start of site works to extend the Mestre site, 115 trees have needed to be cut down in the site area,
as shown in the annexes to the building permit. Moreover, following the tree stability assessment performed
over the whole wooded part of the park of Villa Furstenberg, which numbers approximate 3.400 trees, the need
has emerged to proceed with the cutting down of 144 trees at high risk of instability, so as to guarantee a
suitable level of safety for employees and staff accessing the park. To offset these activities, a tree replanting
plan has been defined, which envisages placing 290 trees throughout the park area, more than those actually
cut down (259).
• The Bank’s actions to discourage the use of plastic have continued, with the aim of reducing it by 80% in all
Group locations. At the start of the year, each employee received a stainless steel thermal flask marked
#Ifisgreen. Changes starts with the small things and with this gift, Banca Ifis sought to raise awareness
amongst its employees as to the importance of reducing plastic in the workplace. 2020 also saw the
conclusion of a project that led to the installation of 50 water posts for the supply of water hooked directly up
to the network, at all Bank sites, with the introduction of eco-compatible biodegradable paper cups, in lieu of
plastic ones, also in the coffee vending machines in the canteen areas.
