The Promoters
The Museum of Saving and the EIB Institute share the idea that corporate social responsibility
must be demonstrated mainly through actions.
Therefore, they put their resources and expertise at the service of a common objective: providing future
generations with the basic skills needed to properly manage financial and natural resources, and supporting
the ability to turn waste into value, savings into conscious investments, technology into a tool with a
positive environmental and social impact.
A common goal: leading new generations
toward a future without waste.
MUSEUM OF SAVING
The Museum of Saving is a unique edutainment project. It was founded in Turin in 2012 with the aim to spread financial literacy through audio-visual and interactive materials such as videos, interviews, theatrical performances and videogames, able to surprise, entertain and educate visitors. Its educational offer is further diversified by associations with literature, cinema and art, and addresses a varied audience made up of adults, teenagers and children, aiming to stimulate their active participation.
The Museum welcomes over 12,000 visitors a year. Each visitor can choose from a wide range of guided tours, educational workshops or financial education awareness-raising events. There are also numerous extra-museum activities organised in Italy and abroad: conventions, conferences, book presentations, temporary exhibitions and itinerant tours, which in 2019 involved over 10,000 people. The Museum is entirely financed by Intesa Sanpaolo.
THE EIB INSTITUTE
The EIB Institute was set up within the EIB Group (European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund) to promote and support social, cultural and academic partnerships with European stakeholders and the public at large. It is a key pillar of the EIB Group’s community and citizenship engagement. This includes reducing inequalities, enhancing knowledge, innovation and competitiveness and ensuring cohesion throughout Europe.
We offer advice, finance research and knowledge transfer, and provide grants that support EU social cohesion goals via partnerships with local non-governmental organisations (NGOs), universities and academic networks, foundations, research institutes, corporate organisations and governmental bodies.
The Institute supports social innovation and entrepreneurs who aim to generate a social impact (targeting social, ethical or environmental goals) or seek to create and sustain social value, typically related to unemployment, marginalisation of disadvantaged communities and access to education and other basic services.
Financial education is one of the cornerstones of the EIB’s strategy for reducing inequalities. We believe that effective promotion of financial education contributes to social and economic development and are actively expanding our activities in this area.
