EnergieKer which was born in 1986 in Pavullo nel Frignano (Modena) and more recently it has invested in a cogeneration system and in a large photovoltaic plant for the combined and simultaneous production of electricity and a latest generation atomizer.
In this context Intesa Sanpaolo, increasingly in favor of promoting the development of a sustainable economy, has launched a medium-long term financing instrument called S-Loan specifically designed to accompany the efforts of companies in the direction of greater sustainability from an environmental, social and corporate governance point of view. S-Loan supports the medium-long term needs of companies with dedicated favorable conditions, thanks to the rate reductions that will be recognized upon achievement of the improvement objectives in the ESG area. To the raddition of the KPIs, a discount will be recognized on the financing in order to reward the results achieved. S-Loan is a loan that rewards virtuous behavior in the field of sustainability.
