In its 150-year history, Pirelli has achieved great things in corporate welfare, which was something the founder Giovanni Battista worked hard for, right from the outset, investing in forms of social security and assistance and launching projects that were well ahead of their time. Some of the most important include the institution of a welfare fund in 1877, which provided subsidies in the event of illness.
This was one of the earliest examples of a project in support of workers introduced by a large company. A healthcare service was then set up in 1926 for the benefit of employees and their families, providing specialist advice, laboratory tests, home care and considerable facilitations for admission to hospital and nursing homes. As the company grew, ever greater assistance was provided to the workers, covering not only healthcare issues, leisure activities and sport, but also those of the family, such as education for the children.
Still today, Pirelli promotes and supports the well-being of its people and fosters a strong sense of belonging, making all its employees feel they are part of an open and inclusive community.
