DOUBLE PROFITABILITY : ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE AND SOCIAL IMPACT

MICROFINenza

INVESTMENT IMPACT

All investments have an impact. The activities in which we invest leave a mark that can be positive or negative. For this reason, in 2008, Finenza created MicroFinenza, a division specialized in microfinance investments, and subsequently expanded to impact investments, for our institutional clients and family offices who are determined to generate social and environmental impact as well as financial returns.
MicroFinenza are investments made with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return.

And it is not only about mitigating certain risks or avoiding negative practices, but also about having the intention of generating a positive impact.
At MicroFinenza we want to be part of the solution.

The Smart Campaign Logo

At Finenza we support the social activity of the real estate servicer SATEK in its management of adjudicated assets in depressed areas and vulnerable social environments, in which it carries out important assistance and socio-labor integration work, providing solutions adapted to the environment and capacities of its tenants, which makes it the undisputed leader in this segment and almost the only player in the market.

SATEK prevents the deterioration of real estate portfolios, carries out the community administration and management of assets, manages the processing of licenses, assumes the completion of incomplete or looted works, facilitates the identification of dispersed assets and guarantees the surveillance and protection of real estate, generating income and increasing the value of assets, which in the medium term will be owned by a significant percentage of tenants. All this, working in a network with other social agents such as NGOs, municipal services and Social Welfare Services of the Autonomous Communities and Provincial Council.

IMPACT INVESTMENT: ENVIRONMENT

Finenza is reinforcing the implementation of the principles of responsible investment and is committed to sustainable investment as a strategy to manage global risks. In our activity, we are committed to initiatives that respect the environment and that contribute to preventing and mitigating climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy.

FINENZA WITH ART: PATRONAGE

As part of our Social Responsability plan, we find sponsorship, a purely philanthropic activity except for the satisfaction of contributing to make possible the ends of the supported activities. Finenza supports young emerging artists in the development of their artistic activity.

We firmly believe in a philanthropic culture through which we seek to promote social and cultural change.
