2008 was a year that posed significant challenges to the global economy, to the financial services industry and to our business.
To date, our business model remains sound, and our outlook is positive for our future operations.
We remain positive because we know that we can count on our greatest strength. It is our solid and rigorous commitment - to our customers, to our people, to our investors, to the communities we serve, to our core values, to culture, to quality in everything we do, and to the sustainable success of our enterprise.
Every day we renew that commitment through the efforts and expertise of more than 166,000 people in 22 countries.
That is why we decided to show the photographs and words of UniCredit Group employees.
No one could express our commitment more eloquently than the men and women who live it every day.
From our branches and offices across Europe, each message is different and each message expresses what commitment means to them, to their customers, and to their colleagues every single working day.
We feel that their words, their ideas truly capture the spirit of UniCredit Group – the spirit of commitment, our greatest strength.
