Fedrigoni link with the local area – also expressed in the quote of the Verona coat of arms in its logo – have always been very strong, marked by respect and giving back to the community. Today, these traditional values govern the relationship among Fedrigoni Group and the various regions and communities in which it operates around the world, particularly where its plants are located.
The initiatives we pursue are part of the sustainability journey we have embarked on and are in line with the spirit of the 2030 Agenda, addressing the environment, education, culture, community well-being and innovation in our industry.
From active support for local communities, to the commitment to the diffusion of art and culture through the Fedrigoni Fabriano Foundation and the Festival del Disegno, to collaboration with universities, schools and associations, we will work to make our social and environmental impact projects more structured and to actively and participatively engage all our people.

Festival Del Disegno: creativity as a means to reach out
Since 2016 our Festival del Disegno aims to be a valuable opportunity not only to promote the culture and power of drawing, but also to catalyse vital, fruitful connections within the community in question, throughout Italy, with distinguished guests. Since its inception, this event has been aimed at everyone: artists and amateurs, professionals and – why not – even those who happened to be passing by.
