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.
Results of our microfinancing activities
The sum devolved to guarantee microfinance projects amounts to 4.5 million euros, against which Banca Etica has been able to provide 900 loans from 2003 – the first year of the fund – through till the end of 2021.
Of the 102 loans provided in 2021, 101 were managed directly by Banca Etica and 1 in partnership.
