FIRSTonline adheres to the national campaign "Italy in class A" to support a rational use of energy, promote savings, contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment. And November will be the "month of energy efficiency" an initiative promoted by the Ministry of Development and implemented by Enea which is its operational arm in this sector. For some time, in fact, FIRSTonline follows energy issues with an eye not only on the financial aspects but also on information on the more conscious use of energy resources, their use in economic activities and the benefits, including tax benefits, that can help citizens improve the home, the company, the offices, in terms of energy.
More than 200 institutions, associations and companies have already joined, including NTV which will disseminate messages on energy saving on Italo trains and in the on-board magazine, Enel with local demonstrations and messages on bill efficiency, the ministries of Defense, Cultural Heritage and the Gemelli Hospital with training and information activities for staff on the rational use of energy and behavior change, while Schneider Electric, Energy Team and 3M Italia will propose internal and external campaigns.
At the bank level, the Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna provides a vademecum and an awareness newsletter for its 12 employees, the Verona Chamber of Commerce will organize an event on energy efficiency and sustainability in the building sector, while the Energy Agency of the Province Livorno provides school workshops on the topics of efficiency and savings in a "wasteful" house and a "saving" house.
Initiatives aimed at students also from the Turin Polytechnic and the Universities of Camerino and Bari. Events to raise awareness among citizens will be organized by the Kyoto Club, Federesco, Assoesco, FIRE and Rete Irene.
