Initiatives in favor of the areas affected by the earthquake in Central Italy (Marche)

Visit to the Municipality of Pieve Torina December 26, 2016.

The initiative was organized with the other local companies adhering to the ‘Succisa Virescit’ project. A lunch was organized as an opportunity to share with the resident population who remain, the volunteers and the people who bravely resist in several damaged areas facing great difficulties.

Paradisi’s employees voluntarily decided to donate one day of their holiday in favor of the earthquake victims. To reward this test of generosity, the company itself wanted to make its own contribution by doubling the equivalent economic value.

Through networking activities and collaboration with other local entrepreneurs Paradisi contributed to the donation for the building of a new school in one of the most damaged centres (Pieve Torina).

OIKOS contribution

Every year Paradisi gives important donations to the Oikos Onlus Association that since 1990 has dealt with abandoned children, mothers in difficulty and people with pathological addictions from the use of drugs.
