Inclusiveness, equality, and gender parity are the cornerstones of Filatura Tollegno 1900’s welfare program, which translates into a series of concrete actions and initiatives. This commitment is reflected in the company’s adherence to the agreement pursuant to Article 14 of Legislative Decree 276/03 approved by the Piedmont Region. In collaboration with Orso Blu Impresa Cooperativa Sociale, Filatura Tollegno 1900 has invested a portion of its available resources to hire a new employee at the facility, improving its cleaning service. But that’s not all. Thanks to this initiative, the company is pioneering a new opportunity with concrete social value in the Biella area. This is also confirmed by Isabella Carlone, Head of Logistics, and Barbara Serra, Psychologist for Job Placement at Orso Blu Impresa Cooperativa Sociale. “The activation of an agreement pursuant to Article 14 transforms the legal obligation into a process that generates real, concrete, and shared value. For the worker, this project represents a profound change: they are no longer individuals receiving assistance, but individuals who participate, contribute, and co-construct something, becoming active protagonists. Work confers dignity, gives rhythm to the day, and allows for the acquisition of autonomy and social skills, increasing self-esteem and a sense of self-efficacy.”

The company has achieved this important recognition, which, part of a more structured mosaic, propels it into the future. Next steps? Obtaining further process certifications such as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
