Italy: 80% of banks publishes a social balance

According to the Forum on Corporate Social Responsibility, that took place at the end of October in Rome, 82% of Italian banks write a social balance and banks equal to 75% of the bank counters distribute ethical funds. The policy on the financing to the armaments sector is very interesting as well. Banks equal to 67% of the bank counter deal with this issue. Some banks have decided to reconsider their position on this issue, some through a policy of disengagement from the weapons sector, others giving their support only to operations aimed at defending the country and protect citizens security. www.abi.it
