For years, Macron, who is one of the founding partners by the Rizzoli Foundation, established with the aim of supporting the Bologna Orthopaedic Institute in carrying out its numerous projects, supports projects of social solidarity, cultural initiatives, support for people with disabilities, and support for medical research and prevention through donations of equipment, financial contributions and direct sponsorship. During 2023, Macron supported 50 projects, with a total donation of €294,880.

“Following a highly successful 2023, 2024 looks set to be just as promising, as confirmed by the figures for the first half of the year. – he commented Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron – We are therefore continuing on our path of growth, which is essential for retaining our talented staff, who are always on the lookout for new challenges. The enthusiasm felt within the Macron Campus for the many projects in which we are all involved is a source of pride. Every goal we achieve is the result of the hard work, dedication and passion that each of us puts in every day. We look to the future with confidence, determined to reach our next milestone.”
