01/09/2008 Sviluppo della comunità locale secondo criteri di responsabilità sociale e ambientale, innovazione e centralità del socio. Sono questi i valori forti e comuni che hanno portato la banca di Credito Cooperativo Cartura a diventare socio di Banca Popolare Etica. "Siamo molto contenti che la Bcc Cartura abbia aderito al nostro progetto – afferma Mario Crosta, direttore generale di banca Etica. "Abbiamo così iniziato un percorso di partnership che per noi significa possibilità di apertura al territorio, mettendo al centro la responsabilità sociale d’impresa e un modello di sviluppo fondato sul rispetto della dignità umana e della natura. Non possiamo certo dimenticare che nel progetto iniziale, Banca Etica doveva essere proprio una banca di credito cooperativo per le sue caratteristiche di mutualità e cooperativismo".

11/23/2007 Dopo che lo scorso anno dodici banche di diversi paesi (Germania, Italia, Svizzera, USA) hanno rifiutato il finanziamento ad un impianto nucleare a Belene, un'area ad alto rischio sismico, la Bulgaria intende ora chiedere assistenza finanziaria alla Commissione Europea - informa la Campagna CRBM. "Se la Commissione darà la sua approvazione, Belene diventerà allora elegibile per prestiti dall'Euratom e dalla Banca Europea degli Investimenti, istituzioni che si basano sulle tasse pagate dai cittadini di tutta Europa. E una tale valutazione potrebbe provocare un ritorno di interesse per il progetto da parte delle banche private" - avverte la Campagna che chiede di inviare una email di protesta alla Commissione Europea. Tra i possibili finanziatori vi sarebbe anche l'italiana Enel, riporta BankTrack.
