THE DAY OF THE FUTURE 2016: PIRELLI DEUTSCHLAND OPEN THE DOORS TO YOUNG STUDENTS

Two groups of boys and girls from eleven to fourteen years old have participated to the “Girls’ and Boys’ Day” to discover the world of Pirelli’s manufacturing in Germany.

For the 15th time, Breuberg plant opened its doors to young students so that they could discover the manufacturing process and the different careers in the tyre industry.

It was a way to discover aptitudes and carriers which in the past were considered as a specific gender exclusive but that today have certainly overcome all gender barriers.

Divided into two groups, the students participated to a special “behind the scenes” tour into the Breuberg plant and in the nearby Pirelli Museum.

A great opportunity for education and to discover the different professions and careers paths.

PIRELLI PARTNERS EU-OSHA “HEALTHY WORKPLACES, MANAGE STRESS” CAMPAIGN

Pirelli has officially adhered to the “Healthy Workplaces, Manage Stress” Campaign, launched by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA).

The long-lasting relationship between Pirelli and EU-OSHA started in 2008-2009 with the “Risk Assessment” campaign and continued with the following campaigns in 2010-2011 and 2012-2013, respectively named “Safe Maintenance” and “Working Together for Risk Prevention”.

At the core of the “Healthy Workplaces, Manage Stress” Campaign there are psychosocial risks and work-related stress, in which Pirelli  is constantly active promoting a healthy work environment where employees feel valued and psychosocial risks are properly managed and tackled.

On this, inside the “Excellence in Safety” program already launched in all Pirelli’s industrial plants and developed with DuPont Sustainable Solutions, there’s a description of the stress phenomenon and its effects; in details, it is highlighted how all the activities developed by the Program, such as improvement of the organisational structure, clarity of tasks and roles, workers empowerment and improved communications, can guarantee an adequate work environment which is also safer and more stimulating for workers’ wellbeing.

This program is consistent with the continuous promotion of Safety Culture, which is considered by Pirelli a core element at the basis of a responsible and sustainable growth.
