Projects and Initiatives

All initiatives aimed at strengthening the Group's identity and sense of belonging are intended to encourage meeting and exchange of ideas and to familiarize stakeholders with our operations, thus making the bond both effective and concrete.

Promoting sport
Promotion of various sports activities through sponsorship of events such as the fourth edition of the City of Trieste’s international tennis tournament at the Tennis Club Triestino and of sport teams such as the Fincantieri Football Union of Monfalcone. Moreover, Fincantieri supports sporting initiatives and local competitions in order to promote healthy lifestyles.
In the United States, Fincantieri supports local high school football and athletics teams which are active in the territory.

Company clubs
The purpose of the nine company clubs in Italy is to promote social initiatives and activities within the community of its members, consisting of employees, former employees now retired, their families and friends. At the end of 2023, there were about 17,200 members, including more than 8,950 Fincantieri employees and former employees. The premises of the company clubs, the staff in charge of the administrative management and the economic resources necessary for their maintenance are predominantly provided by Fincantieri.

We consider the promotion of cultural activities to be a cornerstone for the sustainable and lasting growth of our territories. With this in mind, we support various initiatives aimed at contributing to the attractiveness of territories by increasing their development opportunities.

Genoa’s Teatro Stabile autonomous entity
Grant under the Art Bonus to support the 2023 institutional activities of the National Theatre of Genoa, an important centre for cultural promotion with an impact on local communities.

Barcolana
Participation and local identity are pivotal elements of the Barcolana, the world's largest international sailing regatta held in Trieste for over 50 years. Fincantieri renews its support for sport and the local territory by sponsoring the 55th edition.

Genova Cultura
Sponsorship of the conference series ‘Meetings in Blue. Men, women and stories of the sea’ held during the Genoa Boat Show. The event aimed to promote the culture of the sea, a source of social and business life in the Liguria region.

Municipality of Genoa Ocean Race Direction
Sponsorship of, ‘The Ocean Race, Genoa The Grand Finale 2022-23’, the round-the-world regatta, which, in its 14^th edition, held its final phase in Genoa. The event promotes sport, inclusion, respect for the environment and sustainability.

Research and technological innovation are the main resources that enable a country to remain competitive and ensure the wellbeing and standard of living of a population. With this objective in mind we promote and support activities aimed at spreading a culture of innovation and research and the realization of scientific projects with the contribution of scholars and experts.

Events/conferences

• Fincantieri sponsored two LIMES events:

1. Sea Days, at the Royal Palace in Naples, an international event dedicated to maritime Italy.
2. Limes Festival, 10th edition, at Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, an event dedicated to the salient themes of current geopolitical events, with analysts, researchers and leading figures from the worlds of economics and business.
   
   

• Italian Cruise Day 2023. In Taranto was held the eleventh edition of the forum on the cruise industry and tourism in Italy. It is an opportunity to explore the sector dynamics, as well as an opportunity for the players informed to keep up to date and network.

Cooperation protocols
• We promote partnerships with universities, business schools and colleges to offer internships, doctoral and research projects, enriching students' educational experience and preparing them for the future.

We believe that supporting and promoting solidarity initiatives in favour of the most disadvantaged people represents an assumption of social responsibility, as well as strengthening the link with our territories on the basis of shared values.

The Fuller Center for Housing
Ecumenical Christian non-profit and non-governmental organization based in Americus, Georgia, that builds and repairs houses for low-income families and individuals. It is active in 60 US cities and 16 countries outside the US.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin
As the largest donor- and volunteer-supported mentor network, Big Brothers Big Sisters creates meaningful, monitored encounters between adult volunteers (‘Bigs’) and children (‘Littles’), from age 7 to young adulthood, in communities across the country. They develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.

Our contribution primarily consists of initiatives to support the medical-scientific sector or to support the sick: health protection is an ethical and social value of primary importance.

We believe that the quality and prospects of life of people can be improved only through scientific research. The protection of health is an ethical and social value of primary importance. For this reason, we supported the following associations:

Bambino Gesù Foundation Non-profit organization
Donation in support of the ‘I’ll Take Care Of You’ project for the development of the Paediatric Palliative Care Centre, following hospitalization at the Bambino Gesù children’s hospital. In order to further expand the centre, the traditional fundraising event, in place of part of the company’s Christmas gifts, was dedicated to this initiative.

Maruzza Lefebvre D'Ovidio ETS Foundation
Financial contribution to the Foundation for institutional activities and in particular to support the provision of paediatric palliative care for those with incurable, highly complex illnesses.

ETS Telethon Foundation
Support for the Telethon Foundation, engaged in research into rare genetic diseases, at the fundraising event promoted by the Udinese Telethon Relay Committee in Udine. Twenty-four Fincantieri employees created a mini-team event by actively participating in the relay race organized as part of the celebrated social and cultural initiative.

Respect for the environment, for local territories and for each individual with whom we share areas and activities, is an essential prerequisite to ensure the continuity and growth of our Group over time, to the benefit of future generations.

Research support for the National Centre for Sustainable Mobility
We are a founding member of the National Centre for Sustainable Mobility, in which 25 universities and 24 large companies engaged in mobility and infrastructure work together with the aim of underpinning the industry's green and digital transition, ensuring industrial transition and supporting local institutions in implementing modern, sustainable and inclusive solutions. The project, financed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), provides for investment of almost €400 million over the period 2023-2025 and focuses on five areas: air mobility; sustainable road vehicles; waterborne transport; rail transport; light vehicles and active mobility.

FVCMS – Venice World Sustainabilty Capital Foundation
Fincantieri joined the Venice World Sustainability Capital Foundation as a co-founding member, confirming its role as a prime mover in the issues of innovation and green transition in the shipbuilding industry. The Venice Sustainability Foundation was born out of the need to respond to the complex environmental, social and economic challenges that characterize the delicate ecosystem of Venice. Established under the patronage of the Italian government, the Foundation collaborates with local authorities, cultural and academic institutions as well as leading companies in their respective markets. With its know-how and specializations and enhancing its consolidated presence in the Venetian territory thanks to the Marghera shipyard, Fincantieri intends to contribute its expertise particularly on the issues of hydrogen (by participating in the development of a hydrogen valley in Porto Marghera) and energy transition and environmental protection.
