VÚB ENVIRO Loan

The concept of sustainability and environmental protection is a permanent part of the business strategy for VÚB banka and the entire Intesa Sanpaolo Group, of which VÚB is a part. As a strategic partner of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, this international banking group is one of the world's leaders in financing new business models that support the global transition to a circular economy.

To support sustainable development, Intesa Sanpaolo has established a special fund through which VÚB banka's corporate clients, including municipalities, can obtain an investment loan at a preferential interest rate if their project meets the set criteria that support circular economy practices in the following areas:

• design of products, goods or services that integrate circular economy strategies or principles
• reuse, repair or recycling, production processes that reduce the use of virgin raw materials and increase production efficiency
• extension of the useful life of products and goods, for example through repair, refurbishment, renovation, reuse, upgrading and remanufacturing
• innovative technologies, business models, and platforms that enable circular business models
• projects that increase the circularity of the economy at the system level by creating connections between companies, institutions and other stakeholders to build shared infrastructure, technologies, and skills
• training in a circular economy perspective and many other practices that support the circular economy
