Our strategic role in the Italian economy, the strength of our fundamentals, and the state guarantee backing postal savings underpin the high credit quality recognized by the leading international rating agencies. Our commitment to sustainability places us among the best-in-class institutions in the sector according to the leading ESG rating agencies.

Our rating profile reflects CDP’s ability to operate with stability and continuity while pursuing a strong development mission for the benefit of the country, maintaining at the same time a prudent approach to risk management and funding activities.

A robust sustainability governance, the integration of ESG strategy into our core business, and our high level of transparency toward stakeholders are reflected in our ESG ratings, which confirm our commitment to combining strong economic and financial performance with social and environmental impact, while maintaining an ongoing dialogue with the market and the investment community.
