After a careful analysis of the possible beneficiaries, projects aimed at helping refugees in the short and long term were selected, with the distribution of basic necessities, reception places, but above all with inclusive actions such as the creation of basic Italian courses and for inclusion in society. possibly in the employment context.

Purple Light – World Pancreatic Cancer Day
World Pancreatic Cancer Day (WPCD) is celebrated) every year in November. This is an initiative designed to promote awareness of this disease, and to raise awareness of its prevention and treatment. Pancreatic cancer is in fact one of the most aggressive and lethal cancers in the world, whose incidence, unfortunately, is constantly increasing. For years, on the occasion of this day, Antares Vision has participated in the initiative “Let’s Shine a Light on Pancreatic Cancer”, organised by the World Pancreatic Cancer Day in collaboration with the Nastro Viola di Travagliato Association. The November day dedicated to this fight sees the facades of the Antares Vision Group offices around the world light up in purple. A “scenic contribution” to express solidarity with those who fight daily against this kind of tumour (patients, doctors and researchers) and to raise awareness among citizens about the danger of this silent killer.
In 2022, inspired and in support of the cause, colleagues from Antares Vision Group India raised a fund donated to the “India Cancer Association”.
UNICEF
The partnership in the name of solidarity that has linked Antares Vision, the Municipality of Ponte di Legno and UNICEF Brescia since 2017 continues unabated. At the company headquarters in Travagliato, a fir tree from Ponte di Legno was lit up until 2020 in support of theUnited Nations Children’s Fund. The initiative, part of the “Pontedilegno-Tonale for Unicef” project, also included a donation from Antares Vision to help the children of Madagascar, where maternal and child malnutrition and drought are among the most serious and urgent problems. Furthermore, on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of World Children’s Day (20 November 2019), the national and international offices of Antares Vision were illuminated in blue, demonstrating the Company’s commitment on this front. This is an opportunity to underline the importance of this day and to reaffirm the centrality of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identified by the United Nations Global Agenda for Sustainable Development to 2030. Antares Vision has been a corporate Friend of Unicef since 2021.
