F.R.E.M. Foundation
Corporate Social Responsibility: the F.R.E.M. Foundation
Our international cooperation projects promoting education, healthcare, and access to water resources
Our Foundation,
our commitment
Established in November 2006, F.R.E.M. Foundation pays tribute to the roots of the Serena’s family, named after Fabbrica Rocchetti E Modelli, a small carpentry business run before the transition to hot forging.
Through the Foundation, we promote charitable projects in the healthcare sector and support the most vulnerable classes, carrying out all activities with the support of local partners to ensure resources are addressed to those who need them most.
Many of the initiatives are focused on regions where access to essential services – education, healthcare, and water resources – still represent a daily challenge.
Here it is where our contribution can make a difference: supporting the development of new projects, creating opportunities, and truly improving people’s living conditions.
