"The operation with Trentingrana represents for Bcc Veneta a concrete investment in a supply chain that best embodies the values of cooperation: quality, territoriality and shared growth," pointed out Renato Zampieri, the bank's deputy general manager. "Supporting the leading consortium on the basis of provincial volumes of milk conferred means contributing to the development of a production community that cherishes tradition, expertise and identity. Trentingrana is a virtuous model of local economy, capable of generating a significant impact on the communities that we also oversee with our Rovereto branch. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to supporting realities that know how to innovate while remaining faithful to their roots'.

Financing the Trentingrana chain represents a concrete step in this direction: investing in quality and sustainability means strengthening a sector that is a symbol of our tradition and deserves to be promoted with initiatives that ensure its competitiveness and international recognition," said Alessia Valentinetti, Head of Facilitated Financial Instruments at Cdp.
