Snam’s corporate welfare system is based on a long tradition of caring about people. With the aim of meeting emerging needs and the requirements of different groups within the corporate population, it uses the most progressive experiences of the largest Italian companies as a yardstick for growth and change from year to year.
Alongside the most traditional and well-established components of the supplementary pension and supplementary healthcare fund, which in most cases also benefit from a company contribution, there are other initiatives and services available for people in the following main areas: family, health, time and space, savings and relationships, presented to employees in a clear and exhaustive manner in an ad hoc section of the company intranet.
A guide has also been published on the intranet for both biological and adoptive parents with a view to raising awareness about their rights and highlighting the Company’s dedication to parenting.
