2012 Annual Report - Italcementi Group

The Social Initiatives Policy reinforces the Group approach by tracing the principles to build relationships with
all the relevant stakeholders and defining rules for supporting organizations and social projects. Relevant
operational guidelines are under development.
Employee opinion surveys, signature of the BWI agreement, open door activities, world days celebrations,
implementation of health and safety standards for employees and contractors and the social intranet i.like are
some examples of the Group active support to its internal stakeholder engagement.
Alongside the long-term participation in the WBCSD/CSI and the adhesion to UNGC, the Group actively
promotes engagement with the International Emission Trading Association, the socially responsible investment
community and the public-private Carbon Funds of the World Bank.
Beyond the activities supported by the Group and the subsidiaries, the Fondazione Italcementi Cav. Lav. Carlo
Pesenti, established in June 2004 by Italcementi and Italmobiliare in honor of Carlo Pesenti - one of Italy’s
most prominent industrial and financial figures in the Post-War Period - is promoting education and scientific
research as its core focus, with special emphasis on the sustainable economic and social development of
enterprises. Moreover, the Foundation undertakes and fosters humanitarian projects aimed at supporting
people struck by natural disasters in addition to providing aid in other emergency situations.
