As Europe emerges from the initial disruption of the pandemic, we have the chance to rebuild our economies and our societies for the better. The financial sector has a crucial role to play in this transition. Banks should be deeply embedded in their communities. They should act as engines of individual and collective growth, helping individuals, communities and countries deliver on their potential.

UniCredit will play our part in unlocking the potential of people, businesses and communities across Europe. Our people will be united behind a new common purpose – empowering communities to progress – which will lie at the heart of everything we do.

We will come together within a common culture that puts us back on the front foot, energized and emboldened. We will put the values of integrity, ownership and care at the heart of our decision-making and everything we do. And we will do it together, as one team of people acting as true partners to our different stakeholders.

This will unlock the talent of our organization, for the benefit of all stakeholders, enabling us to fulfil our potential of empowering communities to progress.
