Marking the #InternationalCooperativeDay on 6 July, EACB met with its member representatives in Paris to drive initiatives propelling the #cooperativeidentity. From exploring new #research angles, to employing a compelling narrative, and identifying relevant indicators for cooperatives in #EuropeanSustainabilityReportingStandards (ESRS), the next steps to a strong presence for the cooperative cause in banking are laid down. In the future of banking in the EU, a diverse market including a strong coop banking sector will certainly benefit #marketstability and economic prosperity in #communities and #regions, placing clients at its core. Thank you to Groupe BPCE, namely Jacques Beyssade, for hosting a dynamic exchange with a view of the Torre Eiffel!

Lo scorso 18 giugno ho avuto il piacere e l'onore di partecipare al primo incontro tra esperti di ICT Compliance tra le banche europee di credito cooperativo, portando la mia esperienza sul tema e l'entusiasmo nel knowledge sharing e nel networking, anche sulla base di analoga iniziativa a livello italiano che sto portando avanti dal 2020. L'auspicio è che quello del 18 giugno sia stato il primo di una serie di altri incontri con tutti i nuovi colleghi che ho conosciuto.
