The concept of sustainability and environmental protection are a permanent part of the business strategy of VÚB Bank and the entire Intesa Sanpaolo Group, of which VÚB is a part. As a strategic partner of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, this international banking group is one of the world's leaders in financing new business models that support the global transition to a circular economy.
To support sustainable development, Intesa Sanpaolo has established a special fund through which VÚB Bank's corporate clients can obtain an investment loan at a preferential interest rate if their project meets the set criteria supporting the circular economy.
Key benefits:
- preferential interest rate, valid from the moment the loan is granted until the end of the repayment period (subject to meeting the conditions)
- a maturity of up to 20 years
- a wide range of eligible purposes
Financing areas:
- design of products, goods or services that integrate circular economy strategies or principles
- reuse, repair or recycling: production processes that reduce the use of virgin raw materials and increase production efficiency
- extension of the useful life of products and goods (e.g., through repair, refurbishment, renovation, reuse, upgrading and remanufacturing)
- innovative technologies, business models, and platforms that enable circular business models
- projects that increase the circularity of the economy at the system level by creating connections between companies, institutions and other stakeholders to build shared infrastructure, technologies, and skills
- training from the circular economy perspective and other practices that support the transition to the circular economy
