Gruppo FS Italiane supports “Mothers. Love that changes the world”.
A number of shots from the WeWorld photographic project to support the rights of women and mums are travelling on Trenitalia scheduled Frecciarossa trains and exhibited in the FrecciaClub lounges in Rome and Milan from today until 10 May. Posters for this initiative are also displayed in ticket offices and notice boards at Trenitalia Regional Transport stations.
“Mothers. Love that changes the world” enhances the commitment from FS Italiane in social matters entailing Help Centres (antenna-counters in the corporate solidarity network), day and night centres and a reception centre for political refugees, fund-raising campaigns for social projects and partnerships with other enterprises, free use of station premises for Local Authorities, Foundations and No-profit Associations and effective aid in cold weather conditions.

Over the last few years, FS Italiane has implemented an important internationalisation policy that has expanded its business portfolio, paying particular attention to the markets in Germany, France, Holland and North-East Europe, which has also led to takeover of di Netinera Deutschland in Germany.
