Global Giving Month, the corporate volunteering initiative promoted by the De Agostini Group and Fondazione De Agostini and aimed at all employees of the Group's Italian companies, was held throughout May. To give tangible support to select Third Sector entities, Global Giving Month builds upon the ongoing initiative to foster a connection between the Foundation, De Agostini Group companies and its people, three pivotal players for a common objective: supporting nonprofit entities.
Participation of over 75% of employees, 9 companies involved, 3 cities, Milan, Novara and Rome, 31 days of commitment, which allowed over 2,400 hours of volunteering to be donated to the 11 associations selected by the De Agostini Foundation among the entities with which it collaborates and that it supports.
This proposal strengthened the sense of belonging to the De Agostini Group and created a virtuous circle between the associations, companies and employees who have already promoted other solidarity and gratuitousness initiatives.
