Nice becomes Emergency Partner of UNICEF: a new global project kicks off

The company reinforces its Corporate Social Responsibility commitment with a multi-year donation plan to strengthen UNICEF's response to global humanitarian emergencies.

Oderzo (TV), 12th November 2023 - Nice, global leading company in Home Management Solution, renews its commitment to social welfare and becomes Emergency Partner of UNICEF. The multi-year agreement will see the company committed to a donations’ plan to UNICEF programs to cope with humanitarian emergencies, which ensures rapid, coordinated and effective aid to children in areas affected by conflict and natural disasters.

Now more than ever, UNICEF is facing a high number of emergencies, affecting several countries around the world, upsetting the lives of millions of children and their families. Since its establishment in 1946, the global reference organization for the protection of children’s rights has brought relief to millions of children affected by war, hunger and natural disasters. In 2022, thanks to UNICEF, 244 thousand tons of aid were transported to 162 countries and areas.

Nice will actively involve its Nice People in this solidarity initiative: through a charity race, called Play Nice, all colleagues at global level will be directly engaged in supporting UNICEF and will be informed on an ongoing basis over the areas covered by the donations, such as access to food, education and healthcare. Everyone can also learn about all UNICEF initiatives and feel free to support the organization with contributions of their own.

Through this partnership, Nice reinforces its will to make sustainability a cornerstone of its strategy, which integrates all the essential components of corporate life, starting with its social responsibility and awareness of the positive impact it can have on people's well-being. From local to global dimensions, the company thus intends to pursue tangible actions to make the world-home a safer, fairer and more welcoming place for all.

As a confirmation of this, a Nice Donations Committee has been established, whose members come from different part of the world and have the responsibility to align all the donations’ activity with the shared global CSR strategy, translated through an inclusive approach.

"The commitment to support UNICEF is part of Nice's DNA, which looks into the future with optimism, towards innovative ideas that generate new opportunities - values that are especially represented by children, whom UNICEF is protecting all over the world. A global sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility project that at Nice also embraces diversity and inclusion, collaboration and the creation of shared value with its communities. Doing business also includes championing worthy causes, supporting our mission to improve people's quality of life" explains Juan Pablo Boz, Chief Marketing Officer and member of the Donations Committee at Nice.

"At Nice, we do believe that authentic social impact and sustainability come not only from corporate strategies, but also from the actions and involvement of our Nice People. The internal communication campaign we have just launched is an invitation to all colleagues globally to join us in this extraordinary solidarity effort with UNICEF. The involvement does not stop with donations but extends to raising awareness through sharing the stories of those who need our help. We want to make our commitment to building a more equal tangible future, a value that permeates Nice' culture and we will continue to nurture throughout our company's journey. Together, we can "Play Nice" by being conscious of how revolutionary daily gestures of people and communities can be" explains Teo Noschese, Group Chief Human Resources Officer and member of the Donations Committee at Nice.
