BOLOGNA (ITALPRESS) – Conad today announced the collection of more than 2.2 million euros in favor of 27 Italian hospitals and pediatric wards, following the solidarity initiative “Love gestures make themselves felt” active in Conad stores at the end of last year.
The collection was made possible thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Conad customers, who supported the initiative by purchasing Christmas bells, within a line of 12 subjects, made of recycled plastic (ABS), inspired by the most famous characters from Disney animated films.
For each bell distributed in stores throughout Italy, in fact, Conad collected 50 cents from its customers to be given to hospitals to finance pediatric wards or projects, thus giving concrete support to local health facilities.
“For us at Conad, sustainability is a strategic pillar, and it is at the basis of all our initiatives: a concrete sustainability that is carried out on several fronts, and that combines attention to the environment through the choice of recycled materials, with support for people and Communities. For this reason, we have chosen to repropose for the fourth consecutive year our solidarity initiative in favor of hospitals and pediatric wards throughout Italy,” says Francesco Avanzini, General Manager of Conad. “Thanks to the generosity of our customers, over the past four years we have raised 8 million euros to support pediatric wards, lending a concrete hand to those who work every day to make the lives of hospitalized children as peaceful as possible and with the necessary medical equipment.”
The solidarity initiative is part of Conad’s major sustainability project “Let’s Sustain the Future,” based on three fundamental dimensions of the brand’s daily actions: respect for the environment, attention to people and communities, and enhancement of the business fabric and the Italian territory.
