00:00We know that the climate challenge is still perceived by young people today as one of the main challenges, if not the main one.
00:122023 has been the hottest year in the history of the world, so we must continue to invest responsibly.
00:19But today we are talking about the right transition, a transition that also pays attention to social impacts.
00:25As always, common sense is always the best way.
00:29Cassa Depositi e Prestiti maintains commitments, we have made very important efforts in our activity,
00:36it maintains commitments with a pragmatic approach and without fundamentalism.
00:41It is obvious that when we talk about transition, we must take into account the social impacts.
00:47And so it is a transition that may have a slightly more diluted time, but that takes care of the social consequences.
00:58And so we must pay attention to the fact that there is no exclusion from the world of work and that there is a correct implementation.
01:06I have said it, it has been said several times, even today, the transition is an opportunity to create jobs.
01:13So, it was also reminded by Professor Roscini, we will probably continue to pay attention to aspects that we used to pay less attention to before,
01:23but the trend is quite that, I would say.
01:26When we have to make loans and then we ask, for example, a small and medium-sized company,
01:31owners of reporting that are too expensive, the benefit of a loan, let's say green, risks vanishing.
01:38So, even in the field of ELTI, the Association of Deposit and Lend Chains, we are dialoguing with the Commission to push for a simplification.
01:46As long as we have financial projects and we have them both in the social field,
01:50let's think of social infrastructure, hospitals, schools, social housing,
01:55as long as we have green projects, we will continue to face the market of ESG bonds and green bonds.
02:02Innovation, in particular the introduction of artificial intelligence,
02:06is considered one of the elements that will greatly change the labor market and the way in which it will operate in the world.
02:12So, like any innovation, there are fears and it is a normal reaction.
02:18Instead, as a cash register, we are introducing more and more artificial intelligence into our processes.
02:24And as a system, through CDP Venture Capital, we have two funds,
02:28we have a billion in funding for artificial intelligence to promote start-ups,
02:32the birth of start-ups in this area, but also to help already established companies in their growth.
02:39So, we are working both internally and as a development of the Italian ecosystem of artificial intelligence.
