Perseverance, innovation and passion have always been Citres’ core business.
We care about the satisfaction and the life of our customers with a special commitment to children and teenagers. We support sporting events, encourage a healthy lifestyle and promote initiatives with schools.
With this in mind, we decided to support the Banca del Tempo Sociale initiative. A project that aims at creating opportunities of inclusion for children with autism and disabilities by putting them in contact with high school students.
A training experience to bring young people closer to the world of social responsibility by becoming an integral part of a common growth path.
Banca del Tempo Sociale is part of I Bambini delle fate, a social enterprise founded by Franco and Andrea Antonello, who, since 2005, have been involved in ensuring economic support and creating inclusion paths for the children with autism and other disabilities.
Thanks to the support of Continuando a Crescere Onlus and companies with a social heart such as Citres, the project is already active in 13 Italian cities. Now it has landed in Verona and will allow 10 children with disabilities to make friends with 30 students of the Liceo Statale C Montanari. All participants will receive monthly vouchers to be used at bookstores or sporting stores and the most deserving will have access to a scholarship.
To do good it takes passion but also funds and a solid organization, Banca del Tempo Sociale is a network in the territory that generates synergies, change and inclusion. An innovative project that is also part of the corporate responsibility values promoted by the 2030 Agenda.
At Citres, we believe that the well-being of the individual is part of a broader, community-based logic and that the commitment of companies is essential to promote solid and profitable social change. We got involved by developing a Corporate Social Responsibility to improve ourselves and improve the community and the environment in which we operate.
Joining the Banca del Tempo Sociale project is an example of our will to improve the world in small steps by raising awareness and encouraging change and also making our consumers part of our ambitious project.
