MILAN (ITALPRESS) – UniCredit has announced a strategic partnership with IvyDecarb to accelerate the decarbonization of the Italian textile industry – a key engine of the economy – and strengthen the resilience of the supply chain. Starting today, we read in a note, the first cohort of Italian textile manufacturers will be able to access the IvyDecarb platform, a digital marketplace that connects them to buyers, machine manufacturers, textile manufacturers and financial institutions. Through the marketplace, they can identify ways to reduce their carbon footprint and involve manufacturers of essential machinery and equipment. With the integration of UniCredit into the marketplace, these textile manufacturers will now also benefit from tailor-made consulting and financing solutions to support such investments – ensuring their adaptability and resilience, as well as promoting long-term value creation.
“To provide sustainable, flexible and scalable solutions that meet the needs and aspirations of our customers remains a key strategic priority – said Sam Kendall, Head of Advisory & Financing Solutions at UniCredit. This partnership reaffirms our commitment to climate change and to support our customers in building more sustainable and resilient business models that generate value over the long term.” Javier Bernal Dionis, CEO of Ivy Decarb Marketplace, commented: “We are proud to cooperate with UniCredit to accelerate the decarbonization of the textile industry. The growth of our marketplace brings benefits to all its members and the inclusion of the leading fashion brands and their suppliers is an important step. Together we provide industry with the tools and funding needed to achieve its decarbonization objectives.”.
The marketplace is designed to be scalable and will allow expansion to other sectors and major markets in UniCredit in the future. “By combining the ESG and financial experience of UniCredit with the extraordinary access to the textile and manufacturing industry of IvyDecarb, this partnership – concludes the note – will open new opportunities to suppliers, allowing them to access investments and to evolve their business models towards greater sustainability and resilience, thus generating long-term value.”.
