PIRELLI PARTNERS EU-OSHA “HEALTHY WORKPLACES, MANAGE STRESS” CAMPAIGN

Pirelli has officially adhered to the “Healthy Workplaces, Manage Stress” Campaign, launched by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA).

The long-lasting relationship between Pirelli and EU-OSHA started in 2008-2009 with the “Risk Assessment” campaign and continued with the following campaigns in 2010-2011 and 2012-2013, respectively named “Safe Maintenance” and “Working Together for Risk Prevention”.

At the core of the “Healthy Workplaces, Manage Stress” Campaign there are psychosocial risks and work-related stress, in which Pirelli  is constantly active promoting a healthy work environment where employees feel valued and psychosocial risks are properly managed and tackled.

On this, inside the “Excellence in Safety” program already launched in all Pirelli’s industrial plants and developed with DuPont Sustainable Solutions, there’s a description of the stress phenomenon and its effects; in details, it is highlighted how all the activities developed by the Program, such as improvement of the organisational structure, clarity of tasks and roles, workers empowerment and improved communications, can guarantee an adequate work environment which is also safer and more stimulating for workers’ wellbeing.

This program is consistent with the continuous promotion of Safety Culture, which is considered by Pirelli a core element at the basis of a responsible and sustainable growth.

For more information on the 2014-2015 “Healthy Workplaces, Manage Stress” Campaign, please visit the official website of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work.

Pirelli Romania: Solidarity Champions

For the International Children’s Day on June 1^st, Pirelli joined other companies and the Italian Embassy in Bucharest in organizing a charity match between champions who have made history in Italian and Romanian football.

To mention a few, Franco Baresi, Pietro Vierchowod, Totò Schillaci, Dan Petrescu, Adrian Mutu, Tudorel Stoica and the young Ianis Hagi – son of Gheorghe, the greatest football symbol in Romania- took the field for solidarity.
The event was organised to raise funds for the “Societatea Academica A Stiintelor Comportamentale din Romania”, which helps children who live in poverty conditions in the regions of Covasna and Teleorman.
The match ended with a 3-1 win for the Italians, following two goals by Ruggiero Rizzitelli and one by Alessandro Bianchi. Dan Petrescu scored for the home team.

PIRELLI ROMANIA: RECYCLING, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

The municipality of Slatina, where Pirelli’s facility in Romania is located,  will take part in the third edition of “Fii Orasul Reciclarii 2015”, the competition that awards the title of “city of recycling” in Romania, to be decided in June.

The municipality that collects the largest amount of waste will be rewarded with the construction of a playground made from recycled materials.

Our facility in Slatina, which has always placed great importance on environmental awareness, apart from supporting Slatina’s municipality in this competition, promotes, in partnership with local institutions, several educational projects for citizens on recycling.

Pirelli Slatina has also been participating in “Let’s do it Romania” for several years now, an initiative that involves many Pirelli employees volunteering to clean up the parks around Slatina.
