Social causes edit

Pediatricians network against child abuse edit

"Paediatric network against ill-treatment of minors" has been launched and supported by the pharmaceutical company, Menarini, together with it:Telefono Azzurro, the Italian Federation of Paediatricians, and the Association of Italian Paediatric Hospitals, has grown beyond Italian borders.[citation needed]

The project originated in Italy and is the first of its kind in the world. It was launched in May 2016 in the city of Florence and is supported by Menarini with an investment of one million euro. It foresees the creation of a network of 15,000 paediatricians and general practitioners deployed over the entire Italian territory who act as 'sentinels' in the fight against child abuse. These physicians, who have been 'trained' on the skills needed to recognise the unexpressed 'sentinel' warning signs of child abuse, shall in turn become reference people for their colleagues on a local level, providing qualified information and advice. This project is for the creation of an anti-abuse network.[9]

On 18 October 2016 the project was presented in Tirana to more than 500 paediatricians, not only from the Balkans but also from other countries such as Romania, Switzerland, Turkey and others.[10][self-published source?]

Social housing renovation project edit

The Menarini pharmaceutical group is committed to the recovery of several social housing owned by the municipality of Florence. So far the apartments recovered are 20 and have been assigned to families of small and medium size. The surfaces of the delivered housing range from 50 to 70 square metres each. The first agreement between the Menarini Group and the City of Florence was presented on 16 July 2013 by the mayor of Florence, Matteo Renzi and Lucia Aleotti, President of the Menarini pharmaceutical group.[11]

On 18 January 2014 the Menarini Group has delivered the first three of 10 apartments, located in Via Rocca Tedalda, in the south side of Florence.[12]

On 27 March 2014, the keys of the last 7 houses of the first edition of the project were delivered.[13]

On 12 December 2014 it was announced the second edition of the project of social housing redevelopment in Palazzo Vecchio by Mayor Dario Nardella, the President and the vice-chairman of the pharmaceutical group Menarini Lucia and Alberto Giovanni Aleotti.[14]

On 21 April 2015, 10 apartments renovated from Menarini were delivered to 10 needy families in the city.[15]

On 30 November 2015 it was announced the third edition of the project.[16]

On 17 June 2016 the Menarini Group and the City of Florence have handed over the keys of 10 renovated houses to those families included in the social rankings of the city.[17]

In March 2018, the company announced the new board of directors of the company which for the first time saw an external manager, Eric Cornut, fill the role of president.[18] Cornut, a Swiss from Basel with a master's degree in California, a life in Novartis and for two years, until April 2017, in charge of the general management of Epfia, the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries.[19] On 12 September 2019, the Board of Directors appointed Elcin Barker Ergun as the company's CEO.[20]
