FITT Echoes – vol. IV

In 2023, we decided to shape the desire to be together, to experience the company spaces differently, and to explore contemporary and meaningful topics: this is how the Social Talks were born. They are moments of discussion, growth, and inspiration that take place exclusively in person after working hours. The aim of these meetings is to be guided by experts in the field to generate new ideas and thoughts, and to look at things from new perspectives.

INNOVATION is the drive behind FITT’s business and the starting point for limiting CO2e emissions.
That is why we merged our two audiences – our employees and our stakeholders – together into one, talking about: mindfulness,
language and gender inequality, time management and perception, diversity, scientific research and health.
A new way of bringing together the internal side of the Social coin – the corporate people – with the external side – the community in which we operate -, to turn the well-being of the FITT People into an opportunity for multidimensional impact on the community of which we are part.

TRANSPARENCY is the criterion applied by FITT when investigating its own impacts and communicating them to all its stakeholders.
During the Social Talks, the positive impacts generated by the project on the FITT People also reached the stakeholders.
Curiosity, surprise, awareness, in some cases even perplexity and disillusionment, but also laughter, lightheartedness and conviviality: this is what Social Talks stimulated in us.

INTERDEPENDENCE is FITT’s capability of maximising its own positive impact on the community and of promoting responsible development through partnerships with all the stakeholders.
We therefore asked the associations we support and some experts in the field to help us organise the Social Talks.
During the events, the FITT People had the opportunity of meeting different professionals in one place, interacting with them in an active and informal manner.
