In the economic scenario, the importance of pursuing, in all sectors, the UN “17 goals of the 2030 Agenda” for "Sustainable Development" is increasingly evolving1.
In this regard, CBI has developed an evolution plan in order to evaluate how its role as an industry utility can bring value in terms of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) for the whole Italian financial industry.
The acquisition of the qualification of Benefit Corporation, on May 3 2023, is one of the main steps of this virtuous path and allows us to strengthen our commitment to adopting a regenerative business paradigm, flanking our corporate purpose with a series of significant initiatives of common benefit expected Bylaws.
Impact Report: what is it
The Impact Report outlines CBI's contribution to a paradigm shift that allows us to play an active role in improving the environment around us on the basis of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. In addition to specifying concrete commitments undertaken , the Company confirms its desire to take further action, enabling it to pursue the common benefit goals set out in the Bylaws of CBI.
The Impact Report is a valuable tool that we will use to inform our stakeholders of our ongoing commitment to create value for Italian citizens, businesses and manufacturers and as a means to developing new initiatives capable of generating social and environmental value.
The Report includes:
The updating of the BIA and drafting of the Impact Report was performed with the support of NATIVA, a Regenerative Design Company, with the aim of assessing the report's compliance with legal requirements, the robustness and consistency of the information, and the strength of the updated BIA score.
CBI looks at the future in a responsible way, to help build a better tomorrow.

CBI intends to continue in this important path undertaken, believing it to be of extreme value to its customers, its employees, its shareholders and the communities in which it operates.
Some of the activities undertaken by CBI:
CBI supports FAI (a nonprofit foundation protecting Italy's historical, artistic landscape heritage) through its corporate membership as a Golden Donor. Alongside FAI, CBI contributes to a major project dedicated to enhancing and protecting Italy’s heritage, an initiative that also represents an important cultural challenge.
