It’s best

...with society

Every day, we strive to ensure that values such as respect, acceptance, inclusion and solidarity form the basis of our working environment.

Our commitment extends beyond the company and into the wider community, supporting initiatives in various areas without discrimination on political, ideological or religious grounds.

Society

We have always been mindful of the community around us, supporting the development of projects and initiatives aimed at inclusion and helping vulnerable people or those in difficulty.

  • We are an Emergency Friend, supporting the Life Support, EMERGENCY's search-and-rescue vessel that rescues those whose lives are at risk in the Mediterranean, the world's most dangerous migration route.dw+1

  • We support the children of Gaza through Save the Children's 'Business for Children' programme, which is designed for companies wishing to make a difference for girls and boys in need. Joining this initiative means sharing the value of solidarity and helping to create a better future for the most vulnerable.

  • We support Clown VIP Catanzaro and Clown VIP Vibo Valentia, organisations that carry out their work in hospitals within the Paediatrics, Paediatric Surgery, Geriatrics and Paediatric Oncohaematology wards. They provide services at facilities housing children, the elderly, women who are victims of violence, minors and people with disabilities.
  • We support La terra di Piero, a Cosenza-based charity that operates in Italy and around the world.

  • We sponsor the 'Assalto all'Isola' event organised by Anzianotti Nuoto, a group of athletes from the province of Cosenza aged between 25 and 60 with a passion for swimming, whose aim is to promote the core values of sport by involving and encouraging as many people as possible to take up the sport.
  • We are sponsors of 'La Coppa della Pace', founded in Pizzo in 2005 on the initiative of a group of young people, the SbarbaGianni, with the aim of promoting sport and the themes of peace. Starting out as a classic late-summer beach volleyball tournament, the event has evolved year on year, embracing and spreading the colours and values of the 'Bandierone della Pace' (Flag of Peace) – the symbol of the association and the project – crossing regional borders and becoming a regular and unmissable fixture for all lovers of wholesome fun and commitment, including through the sharing and promotion of ethical and social values.
