BOLOGNA (ITALPRESS) – Conad has announced today the collection of more than 2.2 million euros in support of 27 Italian hospitals and pediatric wards, following the charitable initiative “Acts of Love resonate” that took place at Conad stores at the end of last year.
This fundraising was made possible through the incredible generosity of Conad customers, who supported the initiative by purchasing Christmas bells from a collection of 12 items made of recycled plastic (ABS), inspired by famous Disney animated characters.
For every bell sold at the stores across Italy, Conad collected 50 cents from customers to be allocated to hospitals, funding pediatric departments or projects, thus providing tangible support to local healthcare facilities.
“For us at Conad, sustainability is a strategic pillar and the foundation of all our initiatives: a tangible sustainability that is realized on multiple fronts, combining environmental awareness through the choice of recycled materials, with support for people and communities. For this reason, we have decided to continue our charitable initiative in favor of hospitals and pediatric wards across Italy for the fourth consecutive year,” says Francesco Avanzini, General Director of Conad. “Thanks to our customers’ generosity, we have raised 8 million euros over the last four years to support pediatric departments, providing real assistance to those who work every day to make hospitalized children’s lives as peaceful as possible, equipped with necessary medical resources.”
The charitable initiative is part of Conad’s larger sustainability project, “Supporting the Future,” which is based on three fundamental dimensions of the brand’s daily actions: respect for the environment, attention to people and communities, and the enhancement of the entrepreneurial fabric and the Italian territory.
