Inspiring Girls International: spreading their wings and breaking free from stereotypes
Through its global partnership with Inspiring Girls International, Fedrigoni is committed to issues of diversity, equity and inclusion in the areas where it operates through direct activities in schools. Inspiring new generations by presenting positive models of success, educating and raising the creativity of teenagers, especially girls who do not always invest in their talent at that age, is a challenge that excites the female managers of Fedrigoni Group, who are the ones spearheading the initiative.
