Generali is recognised by the Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie Française en Italie (CFCII) during a Gala Dinner held in Milan on 9 June.
The event brought together over 250 entrepreneurs and representatives of institutions, with the aim to reward companies for their actions in the development of economic relations between France and Italy.
Generali received the 'Award for Corporate Social Responsibility' for its commitments in responsible investments and its sustainable approach to products and service design.
The award was presented to the Chairman of Assicurazioni Generali, Gabriele Galateri, by Genséric Cantournet, coordinator of the French-Italian CSR Laboratory of CFCII.
'Our social responsibility is based on firm commitments that must be kept in line with our mission: to actively protect and improve people's lives' said Gabriele Galateri.
'We are truly convinced that in this critical moment for the global economy, companies and their activities are increasingly linked to their communities'.
