The community at large

Nell’anno 2014 Mediolanum prosegue l’impegno di responsabilità sociale di impresa agendo secondo “etica nel fare business”, confermando la centralità che da sempre attribuisce alla “Persona” e dando la garanzia di un comportamento etico di tutti coloro che operano in nome e per conto di Mediolanum.

Per la collettività nel 2014 Mediolanum ha agito tramite Fodnfai Onlus che ha l’obiettivo di sostenere progetti a favore dell’infanzia disagiata e tramite attività di Microcredito a favore di persone considerate “non bancabili”.

The Mediolanum Foundation NPO

During the year, the Foundation has benefited from the Mediolanum Group's regular contributions, which allow it to continue its work as a funding body, selecting and financing partners' projects for children in need. Specifically, €300,000 was donated by Banca Mediolanum S.p.A in March, and €210,000 by Mediolanum Gestione Fondi SGR p.A. in October, for a total of €510,000 (+2% vs. 2013) .

Fundraising initiatives
In 2014, the Foundation selected the projects of two partners to receive the funds raised from the various initiatives described below. The same projects were selected as in 2013, allowing the Foundation to inform all donors, asked to donate again this year, of the results of the previous year's fundraising. In the first half of the year, the "A Crèche for Every Child" project of the Foundation Aiutare i Bambini (Helping Children) was promoted. In the second half of the year, the focus shifted to the Open Doors project of the Benedetta d'Intino Centre. In both cases, the Foundation will match every euro raised, up to a maximum of €30,000. In both cases, however, fundraising activities were so successful that this amount was significantly exceeded. The many activities raised €92,890 for the Aiutare i Bambini Foundation, and €80,803 for the Benedetta d'Intino Centre.

Overview of funded projects
During 2014, the Mediolanum Foundation NPO assessed 102 projects and funded 31 (3 more than in 2013), allocating €629,888 overall (-17% vs. 2013), with an average per project of €20,319. In the first half of 2014, and for the first time, the Foundation launched a competition on the issue of child nutrition, in Italy and worldwide, named "Let's Feed the Future." The competition winners were decided by the votes cast by those visiting the relevant page on the Foundation's website. In the second half of 2014, the Foundation made an allocation of funds upon request, involving associations with which it has an ongoing and long-lasting relationship.
