00:00Development and sustainable success for small and medium-sized companies are also possible in a territory already at a high rate of industrialization and international summons such as the one in Milan.
00:16At the BIPER Forum in Modena, at the PMI Convention on Sustainable Success, the Centralization of ESG Metrics and ESRS European Standards, organized by RTZ Advisory, BIPER Bank, Confindustria Emilia and the Department of Business Sciences of the University of Bologna,
00:35it was the occasion to discuss ESG, i.e. aspects such as environmental, social and corporate governance issues that can be taken into account in investments.
00:46The bank today has an internal structure of corporate lending, therefore fundamentally and financially for companies, with a branch dedicated to ESG topics. The more we are faced with companies that respect and respect certain areas, certain expectations on the world of sustainability, the more access to credit is facilitated. We as a bank are structured to have the ability to carry out this examination.
01:14The input for companies, both large and small, is to keep up with the times, because the path to sustainability is obligatory but rich in opportunities.
01:23ESG metrics should not be perceived as a cost, an aggravation, an obligation, but on the one hand they are an opportunity and, on the other, the element that, strategically, can allow the company to continue to pursue its success.
01:42The financial intermediary, whether it is a bank, we also have an ISGR at our table today, an investment fund, will invest its money within the company, so it will lend money or enter equity only if the company proves to be sustainable.
02:00Efficiency, cost reduction, investments. A sustainable company on the market is a more competitive company.
02:08For banks today, a company that undertakes a path of sustainability is potentially a more competitive and resilient company in the event of problems.
02:18Why? Because it does not only manage the risks and opportunities of the economic context, but also manages the risks and opportunities at the environmental and social level.
