PMIheroes 2022 | Banca Ifis

PMIheroes

They don’t wear masks, they don’t fly, and they don’t travel at the speed of light. Their superpowers are resilience, perseverance, audacity, and vision. And as a result of their efforts the world really is a better place. They are the PMIheroes, the superheroes of Italian companies.

Some goals are more difficult to achieve than others; the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 indicate the path to a future which is more equitable for all, and more respectful towards the environment. Together with Petra Loreggian, Andrea Signorelli, Andrea and Michele, we want to tell you about those companies that are taking a tangible step towards achieving these goals every day.
