Our communities


 

 

Our business affects communities and stakeholders alike. As a leading European bank, UniCredit aims to support the growth and well-being of the local communities in which we live and work. We do so in the spirit of UniCredit’s mission, striving to bring our values to life every day and to strengthen our corporate identity.



Priorities 2011

We will also launch new initiatives in support of SMEs from Veneto and Southern Italy

One for Clients – becoming closer to our territories

Following UniCredit’s reorganization in Italy through the One for Clients (One4C) program, we created a more efficient territorial governance system. With the aim of increasing customer satisfaction, this system brings us closer to our clients and promotes greater network independence.

 

In line with our new organization, we redesigned the Territorial Boards, which are advisory bodies appointed by UniCredit’s Board of Directors and comprised of prominent leaders from the business world, trade associations, local institutions, research centers, and cultural and volunteer organizations.
