Abstract: From the time the human activity brought the degradation of the environment to the limit, the need of its preservation or restoration has become unquestionable. On the other hand, investments are critical as a driving force for the economy and investing in the environment has been seen as a way to stimulate economic growth and employment while promoting sustainability. This paper presents bancassurance as one of the sources of financing ecoinvestments which have been increasingly gaining the interest of policy makers, and discusses its utility for concrete bancassurance products with the perspectives for the evolution of the bancassurance channel in the European context bearing in mind the advances in the functioning of financial institutions resulting from the European integration process.
