TIM has signed the 'Business for People and Society' Manifesto of the United Nations Global Compact Italian Network, the organisation that stimulates businesses to incorporate certain fundamental principles into their corporate strategies and policies, to create a culture of integrity and responsibility towards people and the planet. In Italy, the foundation currently includes over 600 companies and non-profit organisations.
The Manifesto requires all signatories to take concrete actions to pursue the following goals:
- Respect for Human Rights and Labour Rights
- Development of a culture of inclusion, respect for diversity and equity
- Workers' well-being
- Internal and external training and awareness-raising on social issues
- Financial activities with a social impact objective
- Services and solutions ensuring accessibility to consumers
- Participation in alliances and initiatives that contribute to the well-being of the community through innovation
- Transparent reporting of its social impact (sustainability report)
- Activism on social issues
We enthusiastically endorsed the Manifesto, as it very well represents our culture, which is already strongly oriented towards fostering inclusion, respect for rights and fair behaviours. The #LaParitàNonPuòAspettare (Equality can't wait) project represents an example and the last step of our long journey in this direction.
