A PARI MERITO
Progetti Correlati
BPER Banca Plastic Free
We have long been committed to environmental respect and reducing plastic use both inside and outside the workplace. Since 2020, the year the "BPER Banca Plastic Free" project was launched, over 20,000 employees have received a branded water bottle, which serves as a valid substitute for plastic bottles. By the end of 2023, the initiative was extended to our new hires. A water bottle filled daily at home prevents each of our employees from using approximately 220 half-liter plastic bottles per year (considering working days), making the work environment increasingly sustainable. The usefulness of the water bottles has been further enhanced by the installation of dedicated water dispensers in some of the main Head Offices.
Piantiamola di inquinare!
In 2024, we continued the "Piantiamola di inquinare!" initiative with the support of the Wecity platform to reduce CO2 emissions. The initiative, now in its third edition, involved about 200 employees across our Group's various locations, who commuted to work by bicycle, on foot, or by scooter for a total of 42,000 km, thus reducing nearly 6 tons of CO2. For each trip, the Wecity app calculated the CO2 saved (about 1 kg for every 7 kilometers traveled) and created a ranking based on this value. The initiative was well integrated with the various activities included in the "European Sustainable Mobility Week" (September 16-22, 2024).
Energy Saving Guide
To give substance to the sustainability pills we have created a document, to promote virtuous behaviors and change bad habits and actions, without giving up comfort and services, for example by optimizing the use of devices and systems for air conditioning and lighting.

BPER Banca Plastic Free
To reduce plastic consumption, inside and outside the workplace, we have provided more than 3,000 employees with a branded water bottle. Each employee consumes about 220 half-litre plastic bottles each year: since 2020, almost 20,000 water bottles have been distributed, which, filled from home, contribute to making our environment more sustainable and plastic-free.
Piantiamola
In order to raise awareness of ESG topics, we conducted a communication campaign that resulted in 11 Sustainability Pills for which we launched or carried out concrete actions. Each pill represents one of the 2030 Agenda Goals and contains practical tips and contests to stimulate virtuous action, as well as links and insights to the Sustainability Report.
Piantiamola di inquinare!
The initiative - now in its fourth edition and in collaboration with wecity - involved about 200 employees, distributed in various locations of our Group, who for three months went to work by bicycle, on foot or by scooter for a total of 42 thousand km traveled, thus reducing over 6 tons of CO2, equivalent to the result produced by over 1,000 adult trees in a year in their photosynthesis work. For each movement, the wecity app in fact calculated the CO2 saved (1 kg every 7 kilometers traveled approximately) and created a ranking based on this value. The initiative integrated well with the various initiatives included in the “European Sustainable Mobility Week” (September 16-22, 2024).
Piantiamola di sprecare carta!
With the aim of reducing paper consumption by avoiding printed documents, we involved more than 1,200 branches (in the first edition in 2022) that implemented paper dematerialisation behaviour, resulting in a saving of 8,222,883 sheets and 28.94 tonnes of CO2.
Vademecum for Energy Saving
To give substance to the sustainability pills, we have produced a document to promote virtuous behaviour and change bad habits and actions, without giving up comfort and services, e.g. by optimising the use of air conditioning and lighting devices and systems.
Health and safety
The policy adopted by the BPER Group to ensure that every worker works in health and safety has been outlined taking into account the following principles:
Protection of the health and psychophysical integrity of workers, based on the definition of health given by the World Health Organisation, which integrates this concept with that of worker well-being, through the provision of high quality work spaces, equipment and processes.
Evaluation of "risk factors" and "risk conditions" based on the requirements of Legislative Decree no. 81/08.
Pursuit of the 'precautionary principle' on the basis of the prescriptions of Article 15 of Legislative Decree No. 81/08, and of Article 2087 of the Civil Code, aiming at the provision of company measures to improve the 'well-being' of workers beyond the regulatory provisions.

These include a supplementary pension fund, supplementary pensions, health and dental insurance, Long Term Care, accident coverage, electronic meal vouchers, gift vouchers and staff conditions.
