Microfinance projects

Our customers can choose to donate 0.1% of the invested capital to a fund that guarantees microfinance projects.

When investing in our ethical funds you can choose to devolve 0.1% of invested capital (1 euro every 1000) in favour of an Etica Sgr fund that guarantees microfinance projects and supports high social and environmental impact crowdfunding initiatives.  The projects and initiatives are selected and run by Banca Etica.

With the quota destined to microfinance we guarantee Banca Etica loans to finance:

  • people who find themselves in severe social and economic distress;
  • people who wish to start their own businesses;
  • social cooperatives in need of capital.
