PRESS RELEASE

FinecoBank becomes Signatory of the global Principles for Responsible Banking

Milan, January 27h, 2021

FinecoBank has become an official Signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Banking - a single framework for a sustainable banking industry developed through an innovative partnership between banks worldwide and United Nations Environment's Finance Initiative. Currently around 200 financial institutions subscribed PRB1 globally.

The Principles for Responsible Banking set out the banking industry's role and responsibility in shaping a sustainable future and in aligning the banking sector with the objectives of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. They also, importantly, enable a bank to embed sustainability across all its business areas, and to identify where it has the potential to make the most impact in its contributions to a sustainable world. They also position a bank to leverage new business opportunities with the emergence of the sustainable development economy.

Fineco thus confirms the constant attention to sustainability aspects and publicly commits to improving the impact of its business on society. Becoming Signatory commits the bank to analysing the effects of its business from an environmental and social point of view, and to defining objectives capable of driving measurable improvements in the most significant aspects.

Lorena Pelliciari, CFO of FinecoBank said:

"Transparency is one of the main pillars on which Fineco founded its business model, together with long term sustainability for all our stakeholders, and for this reason we believe that implementing best practices on sustainability is a natural progression for our bank. Becoming Signatory of UN Principles for Responsible Banking confirms our commitment to integrating economic, environmental and social sustainability aspects in our long term strategy in a structured way, a path in line with our goal of an ethical and respectful business model."

Fineco is a constituent of FTSE4Good Index. The bank achieved a sustainability rating "A" from MSCI, and "EE+" (Very Strong) from Standard Ethics.
