The value of solidarity

Social sustainability is also expressed through concrete attention to people and the most vulnerable communities. Together with institutions and local organizations, we promote initiatives that foster well-being, inclusion and new opportunities. Particular attention is dedicated to young people and those living in fragile conditions, with the aim of contributing to the construction of a more equitable society that is attentive to everyone’s needs.

To support the communities of Emilia-Romagna affected by the flood, we joined the regional fundraising campaign aimed at environmental recovery interventions and the management of hydrogeological instability. Our contribution supported the Agency for Territorial Security and Civil Protection in restoring the most damaged areas, in a context that includes significant public investments and local actions to secure waterways and at-risk land, providing concrete support to the territory.

Together with other companies in the ceramic district, we contributed to equipping Sassuolo Hospital with new technologies. Our support made it possible to purchase a latest-generation CT scanner and advanced radiology equipment, now used for non-invasive cardiac examinations and faster diagnoses in oncology and vascular fields. These services are also supported by digital systems that enhance images, reduce radiation exposure and allow doctors to share exams among healthcare facilities in the area, strengthening the quality of diagnostic pathways offered to the community.

We continue to support the Italian Lymphoma Foundation, a national reference point for independent clinical research on lymphoproliferative diseases. Our contribution is dedicated to multidisciplinary studies and programs aimed at improving treatment pathways, with the goal of enhancing the quality of care and expanding well-being prospects for patients treated in the main hematology centers across Italy.

We supported Grade Onlus, the Gruppo Amici dell’Ematologia of Reggio Emilia, which for more than thirty years has supported scientific research, hospital departments and hematology patients. The contribution supports advanced treatment programs, family hospitality projects and initiatives aimed at strengthening local healthcare services. The goal is to reinforce a network of solidarity and innovation that improves the quality of care and promotes treatment pathways that are more effective, accessible and centered on the individual.

We support the Giacomo Sintini Association in the project “Give a Smile”, an initiative that brings moments of serenity and joy to children in the Pediatric Oncology Department of the Perugia Hospital. Through personalized gifts and dedicated activities, the project helps create small spaces of normality along the treatment journey. This attention offers support to families and contributes significantly to the well-being of the community.

Support for Amici per la Vita, an association based in the province of Modena, is directed toward the Hospice Casa Giuly project, a facility dedicated to accompanying people in the advanced stages of illness. The project aims to offer welcoming environments with support services also for families. It represents a care model centered on the dignity of the person, combining clinical quality, proximity and attention to emotional and relational needs.

We supported La Caramella Buona Onlus, a reference organization in Italy and Europe in the fight against child abuse and gender-based violence. The support is directed toward programs for the prevention and fight against abuse, the protection of victims and the promotion of a culture of legality. The aim is to guarantee listening, safety and rights in the most exposed contexts, promoting collaboration networks among institutions, schools and communities to increase social awareness.

The Association “Amici per il Centrafica” operates in the Central African Republic in support of children and vulnerable communities through educational and social initiatives. At the La Joie de Vivre center in Bangui, where a school and healthcare services are already active, we supported the construction of a basketball court and the launch of a new school for younger children with dedicated coaches. A space designed to offer young people a safe place to grow, where sport becomes a concrete opportunity for personal and social development.

We contributed to the creation of Casa Abbraccio in Catania, a project by LAD Onlus dedicated to children affected by oncological diseases. The facility, designed by the Frontini Terrana studio, is an nZEB building, meaning nearly zero-energy, capable of ensuring high efficiency and environmental comfort, and has received the patronage of Italian and international architectural and territorial institutions. Through the supply of ceramic floors and wall coverings, Marazzi supported the creation of safe, welcoming and sustainable spaces, recognized for the project’s high social and architectural value.
