Social

Made by humans

Globally, we work on fostering the well-being of our personnel and the individuals within the local communities we engage with. Recognising the importance of our impact on local regions, we are committed to building territorial welfare programs that foster the capacity for nurturing prosperous communities. Simultaneously, we look introspectively to promote development, diversity, inclusion and safety to support the people at the heart of our organisation.

Fostering mutual respect and understanding

' A fundamental pillar at Renco is our belief that the company's growth is intrinsically linked to the prosperity of the countries in which we operate. Therefore, our commitment to social sustainability revolves around fostering reciprocity and upholding respect for all people '

Parità di Genere

Championing gender equality is crucial to who we are as a company. Our efforts in implementing policies that support this cause have been exemplified by our recognition through the Parità di Genere certification.

The Parità di Genere is awarded to companies that actively foster gender equality and women’s participation in the workplace; providing women with greater access to the labour market, more pathways towards leadership roles, and allowing for more accommodation of life and childcare responsibilities, as well as minimising gender gap disparities.

Putting our words into action

Training and development form a core part of our people-focused strategy. Through our Organisational Development department, we actively bolster the growth of our people by facilitating career development and professional training. Through initiatives such as our Renco Life program, we work to provide services that can help support our people outside the workplace, in their everyday lives.

Through our Renco Academy, we partner with leading universities across Italy to create pathways for graduates to have a fulfilling career at Renco.

OUR PEOPLE

 

"While on maternity leave, I interviewed at Renco and disclosed the challenges of parenting a newborn. Renco not only affirmed their support but also upheld their commitment to understanding throughout the year. This rare quality deserves recognition, and Renco should take pride in it, as it's unmatched elsewhere"

Stefania Perra /  Technical Safety Project Specialist Leader

Ja.Ca.Mbé: Afforestation and Reforestation Project

The Congo Afforestation and Reforestation project is a highly impactful project that will reclaim 40,000 hectares of degraded land with acacia plants to produce carbon credits and reduce up to 30 millions of tons of CO2 emissions. Integral to this project is our commitment to helping to uplift the local community. We are working with local farmers to help introduce new agroforestry systems together with other supporting activities that will improve cultivation techniques. By supporting the farmers, we aim to help them build sustainable businesses that will allow the local communities to prosper

Tanzania
Tanzania Maternal and Infant Clinic

In the Nungwi village located in Zanzibar Island (Tanzania), Renco was requested for assistance by the Ministry of Healthcare of Zanzibar to finance and develop a new maternal and infant clinic. The institute is the only clinic in the region where pregnant women and young children can gain access to free services and medication. This has added significant value to the rural areas where we operate. The Renco Foundation currently manages the medical centre, ensuring the efficiency and quality of the services and providing part of the medical and paramedic staff, the essential medication as well as the medical instruments/machinery

Mozambique
Mozambique School

Since 2012 Renco has had an established presence in Mozambique, within the north of the country, which is one of the poorest in the region. In 2019, with an agreement with the Local Education Department, Renco, through the Renco Foundation, financed the construction of the Antonio Passeri School. Of the 400 individuals who were employed to build the school, 300 were from the local community. After its construction, the school was donated to the citizens of Mecufi, ensuring that 500 children would have access to schooling

COMMUNITY IMPACT

We remain dedicated to helping the local communities in which we develop our projects thrive. This is exemplified in the work we are doing to provide healthcare services to the people of Cesano Boscone.

    

Sharendipity

The term SHARENDIPITY encapsulates the concept of sharing and community that underlies our new approach to sustainability, adopting a systemic and collective vision. SHARENDIPITY combines the concept of SERENDIPITY with that of SHARE.

Serendipity is the ability to create value from unforeseen, and unintentional events that we recognise and capitalise on to solve a problem or seize an opportunity. This reflects our approach to sustainability, an approach focused on innovation and the ability to derive value from novel situations.

Therefore, our open approach to sustainability within the company enhances serendipity and, consequently, innovation. In a rapidly changing world, there is no predefined path to a sustainable future, therefore being agile and adaptive is paramount.
