09.01.2008 Sviluppo della comunità locale secondo criteri di responsabilità sociale e ambientale, innovazione e centralità del socio. Sono questi i valori forti e comuni che hanno portato la banca di Credito Cooperativo Cartura a diventare socio di Banca Popolare Etica. "Siamo molto contenti che la Bcc Cartura abbia aderito al nostro progetto – afferma Mario Crosta, direttore generale di banca Etica. "Abbiamo così iniziato un percorso di partnership che per noi significa possibilità di apertura al territorio, mettendo al centro la responsabilità sociale d’impresa e un modello di sviluppo fondato sul rispetto della dignità umana e della natura. Non possiamo certo dimenticare che nel progetto iniziale, Banca Etica doveva essere proprio una banca di credito cooperativo per le sue caratteristiche di mutualità e cooperativismo".
