Fastweb has always supported the areas in which it operates by financing local projects and initiatives also through the involvement of its employees and customers.
Throughout 2024, Fastweb's support has taken the form of donations of money, time, materials and the skills of its people with the ultimate goal of protecting health, supporting people through technology, providing education and spreading the values of sustainability.
Fastweb has initiated a two-year partnership with Save the Children to support 26 Punti Luce (Light Points). Punti Luce are educational centers established in city outskirts with the aim of offering free training and educational opportunities to children and adolescents between 6 and 17 years old. Within these spaces, children and families can benefit from various activities, including study support, artistic and musical workshops, reading promotion, access to new technologies, play, and physical activities.
In 2024, Fastweb donated 60,000 euros to Save the Children's Punti Luce and provided voice and ultra-broadband connectivity to connect 12 locations in various Italian cities. Additionally, Fastweb supports some of Save the Children's communication campaigns and sends employees as volunteers to support the initiatives "Volunteers for Education" and "Volunteers at School."
Fastweb has donated 500 pieces of furniture, including bookshelves, tables, chairs, chalkboards, desks, chests of drawer, wardrobes, a kitchen, and various coat racks, to 17 schools in the City of Milan. In this way, old objects have found new life in Milan's schools, providing immediate benefits for students and teaching staff while reducing environmental impact. Fastweb identified schools as the ideal context for reusing this furniture, creating new value for the educational community.
The 17 beneficiary schools include high schools, art schools, and scientific high schools in the Milan area, thus contributing to improving school facilities across various educational programs.
In the context of circular economy and the reuse of functional equipment, Fastweb has contributed by donating 104 desktop computers and 18 laptops to the Computer, Technology, and Biomedical Bank (Banco Informatico Tecnologico e Biomedico). This volunteer association is dedicated to recovering computer and biomedical equipment discarded by companies and hospitals, and then redistributing it exclusively to non-profit organizations in Italy and abroad.
Fastweb is involved in three different projects to protect the environment: Seaty, Mosaico Verde and Marine Biomass Regeneration. These projects are part of “1 million euros for the planet”, an initiative that began in 2022 and will continue in forthcoming years in relation to the climate, the redevelopment of urban areas to absorb CO2, ocean health and biodiversity.
