NEW FIA AND PIRELLI FOUR-YEAR AGREEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE FIA ACTION FOR ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN

Milan, 22 June 2016. The FIA and Pirelli have today signed a new four-year agreement in support of the FIA’s Action for Road Safety campaign.

One of the primary goals of the campaign, launched in support of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020, is to educate and better inform road users on the importance of respecting the rules of the road. According to the World Health Organisation, road crashes are today the number one killer worldwide of people aged between 15 and 29.

As a Global Partner of the campaign, Pirelli will promote the FIA’s ’10 Golden Rules’ for road safety through all of its networks. Pirelli will also organise training programmes, as well as projects to raise awareness on safe driving, in collaboration with a selection of FIA Member Clubs.

During this week’s 2016 FIA Sport Conference in Turin, Pirelli CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera said: “Safety has always been one of Pirelli’s primary objectives. As well as being the maximum expression of high technology and performance, guaranteeing total driving pleasure, our tyres constantly strive to achieve the highest levels of safety, both for people and the environment.”

FIA President Jean Todt said: “I am delighted that Pirelli have agreed to support the FIA Action for Road Safety campaign. Working together with our member clubs, this partnership can help spread the road safety message and the importance of respecting other road users to an even wider audience”.

The existing partnership between the FIA and Pirelli relating to the FIA Mobility Conferences and FIA Sport Conferences has also been extended.

PIRELLI RUSSIA LAUNCHES THE “CHANCE PROGRAM


On April 15th, Pirelli’s Kirov plant (Russia), launched the “
Chance” educational program, initiative dedicated to orphans and children without parental care in the Spitsynsky orphanage (Kotelnichesky district).

During the visit to the plant, the orphans got to see the tyre manufacturing process and learn about the plant’s history since its construction in 1943.

We are happy that Chance is now available in the Kirov region and that Pirelli cares about helping orphans,” said Yulia Ivanycheva, head of the Arifmetika Dobra charity fund’s Chance program. “Such visits are very important to orphans since their choice of vocation is often determined by where they think it is easier to enter.

Some children among those who visited the KTP have already started taking lessons under the Chance program. “These online lessons are a wonderful opportunity for me. I am learning Russian and English as well as algebra and physics. I really enjoy the lessons with tutors; they are positive and pleasant. I like science, and I want to be an accountant or even a programmer. I am sure that I will have more chances to enter university thanks to this program,” Natasha, a tenth-grader and one of the orphanage pupils, says about the program.

The purpose of the Chance program is to provide education for orphans through individual online lessons given by professional teachers. Under the program, as of April 2016, more than 3,000 lessons have already taken place.
