A more inclusive boot
What are these symbols: “ǝ” e “ɜ”?
In 2023 we decided to undertake a series of changes in the way we communicate that better reflect our vision of family and the our values.
The first step was therefore choice of an inclusive language and the introduction of schwa – “ǝ” e “ɜ” – in all our content. It is an action, however small, in which we invest daily effort and care.
We are also committed to developing meetings dedicated to the theme of inclusiveness, of equal opportunities e di social awareness. Here is an example:
- A space for mothers : an engaging series of meetings dedicated to mothers and anyone who takes their place, which we held between December 2024 and May 2025.
