Poste Insieme Onlus and its mission
Poste Insieme Onlus was created on 16 April 2015 the intention of Poste Italiane to promote an organic institutional presence supporting policies of social inclusion and solidarity. The choice of building a participation foundation - to which all the subsidiaries of the Parent Company are members - derives from the intent to optimise the use of corporate resources intended for social activities, thus avoiding duplications and fragmented interventions.

In particular, the foundation supports projects and initiatives aimed at protecting the civil rights of disadvantages subjects, with particular reference to infants, young people, families, equal opportunities, the disabled and the elderly.
