Moreover, through an ongoing process of listening to and reconciling the legitimate interests of the community, the Company focuses its attention on the most vulnerable. The latter, due to particular physical, mental, family, economic, ethnic or social conditions, receive more support and consideration.

The methods with which Poste Italiane provides contributions by way of sponsorship and donations in favour of partners, bodies, associations and institutions operating in the area are defined by a specific "Sponsorships and Donations" procedure, which regulates the organisational measures, aimed at avoiding any possible conflict of interest. Requests for sponsorship and donations are received by the relevant departments through a dedicated platform with an online form published on Poste Italiane's institutional website and are then assessed by the Sponsorship and Liberal Donations Committee, which is chaired by an external Chair with high requirements of professionalism, honourableness and independence. Furthermore, in order to proceed with the disbursement of the contribution, an assessment is also made regarding the consistency of the initiative with the contractual content, the regular performance of the activities and the correct execution of the contractual obligations.
