By choosing Frecciarossa’s offer, one contributes not only to the support of this valuable collaboration, but also to significantly reduce the environmental impact on travel. Choosing sustainable mobility means “participating,” as the title of the 2024 edition of FNEC states, “The Time to Participate.” Those who opt to move with Le Frecce to attend the event will be able to take advantage of dedicated discounts on train tickets. “Sustainable forms of mobility must once again become central not only to the development of our cities, but also to meet the decarbonization goal of the Green Deal, which directly affects urban areas; in fact, these are home to 75 percent of the European Union’s population,” saidLeonardo Becchetti, director of the Festival and co-founder of NeXt Economia. “At the European level,” Becchetti added, “energy use is responsible for 77.1 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, about one-third of which can be attributed to transportation. For this reason, the train, which manages to combine metropolitan, regional and national travel, is a strategic means for the development of today’s and tomorrow’s cities, being able to respond to both the environmental and social challenges. “The FNEC Director went on to specify, “The Civil Economy and the city model we are developing with the Civil Social Business City embraces all aspects of sustainable development. We are constantly striving to find transformative solutions, which are able to rethink local development from a sustainable perspective. “The partnership with the National Civil Economy Festival concretizes our commitment to sustainable mobility, in this perspective we are working on several fronts: from the intermodal offer, which favors the modal shift towards collective transport systems, to the renewal of the fleet, to make it greener, up to the awareness of our passengers on the possibility of traveling with low emissions,” said Pietro Diamantini, Trenitalia High Speed Business Director.The FNEC is promoted by Federcasse (the National Association of Cooperative Credit Banks, Rural Banks, and Raiffeisen Banks) and Confcooperative, organized and designed with NeXt (New Economy For All), with contributions from Fondosviluppo, Assimoco, Assicooper, Coopersystem, Tuscany Federation of BCCs, Frecciarossa, and the collaboration of SEC (School of Civil Economy) and MUS.E.
