Banca Intesa awarded with VIRTUS recognition for volunteering

During last year, Banca Intesa established a corporate volunteering programme entitled “Intesa from the Heart”, which involved donation of time, knowledge and energy of the bank employees for the benefit of the society we are living in. A volunteer club bearing the same name was formed and the bank continued with carrying out traditional volunteer projects, such as preparation of New Year presents for children with special needs. Also, new projects, focused on advancement of the wider social community and environmental protection were initiated. Banca Intesa employees contributed to implementation of the major environmental campaigns in the country, financial education of the young and carrying out of different charity initiatives.
