The 4th edition of 4 Weeks 4 Inclusion is about to begin; this year we are participating in the marathon of events on inclusion and diversity in business as a Bronze partner.
Our commitment to promoting sustainable business models is being enriched with new initiatives, and we are ready to put our faces to it.
4 Weeks 4 Inclusion: the marathon dedicated to inclusion
4 Weeks 4 Inclusion (4W4I) is the initiative conceived by TIM dedicated to inclusion and valuing diversity; a four-week marathon with events resulting from the alliance of 400 partner companies.
All activities are aimed at promoting a culture of inclusion in the world of work through the sharing of D&I-themed projects, stories and best practices.
The event will host personalities from different worlds: from sports, fashion, public administration, and culture, who will act as testimonials to reach an even wider and more diverse audience.
For the 4th edition of 4W4I, the marathon will be inaugurated on the afternoon of Oct. 12 with an event entitled “Anatomy of Inclusion” by Monica D’Ascenzo, journalist for IlSole24Ore, and will end on Nov. 14 with a final event that will welcome the theatrical performance Up&Down: the project born from the collaboration between Paolo Ruffini and the Mayor Von Frinzius theater company, composed of a majority of disabled actors.
The 4W4I is accessible to all and free of charge, is held in-person and online, therefore, all events can also be streamed from both the website and dedicated App.
This year, for the first time, our Group has also chosen to support the 4W4I; a participation closely linked to our corporate mission, as every day we strive to promote the spread of sustainable, ESG-oriented business models, and inclusion is a cornerstone of sustainability.
Indeed, every intervention aimed at development, welfare and social-environmental protection starts from an inclusive approach.
An approach geared toward listening to the needs and expectations of the territory and people, both internal and external to the company, in order to get to know their visions, interests, culture, problems and thus accommodate their diversity.
Diversity and inclusion in business: the themes of 4W4I
Inclusiveness is a fundamental concept for present and future society because it is through valuing the individual that common prosperity and well-being can be built.
Inclusiveness also emphasizes the relevance of being inclusive to those who hold interests different from our own, those who are attracted to tendencies other than the massive ones.
How to foster inclusion in business: the Tecno approach
Our job offers, for example, are open to everyone, to protected categories, to people over 45-50.
With the Talents project, launched in 2017, we aim at the introduction of both young talents and senior figures into the company, also to foster generational exchange and break down the frontiers of generational diversity.
We respond to the Leave No One Behind call, one of the ten guiding principles of the UN Global Compact aimed at governments and businesses, both through initiatives dedicated to staff and through our business proposition with services aimed at promoting sustainability in the company, including equal opportunities, such as pathways aimed at obtaining gender equality certification.
