Inser has chosen to contribute to this project with a donation of 30,000 euros, strengthening its commitment to corporate social responsibility. This tangible support will help expand the presence of ceramic therapy not only within the Santa Chiara Hospital and the Proton Therapy Center in Trento but also in many other pediatric oncology wards across Italy. The initiative was presented on October 2, 2024, in the presence of Peter Thun, Founder of Fondazione Lene Thun, and Jacques Verlingue, Chairman of Adelaide's strategic committee, who enthusiastically emphasized the importance of supporting projects that have a positive impact on communities.

“We firmly believe in the power of creativity as a support for healing, and we are proud to contribute to a project that brings comfort and hope to so many children and families throughout Italy,” said Jacques Verlingue, highlighting the importance of the project within Inser's sustainable growth strategy. The relationship between Verlingue and the Fondazione Lene Thun is strengthened by a common historical connection to ceramics: Verlingue, shareholder of Inser, was founded by Jules Verlingue, who, before entering the insurance industry, was a partner in a majolica factory. This artistic affinity helps to strengthen the collaboration between Inser and Thun, uniting the past with a present dedicated to the well-being of children.

“We are honored that a brand whose core business focuses on the care of people and businesses has included support for the activities of the Fondazione Lene Thun in hospitals as part of its ESG sustainability plan,” said Peter Thun, Founder of the Fondazione Lene Thun. He added, “Synergies like this, characterized by strong sensitivity towards the needs and requirements of even the smallest and most fragile members of our communities, are truly significant, and I hope they can be catalysts for positive change, encouraging more companies to extend the beneficial effects of their activities far beyond corporate boundaries”.

The partnership between Inser and the Fondazione Lene Thun demonstrates how two seemingly distant entities can come together to create a positive and lasting impact. This project highlights the importance of art as a healing tool and, thanks to this contribution, will continue to bring hope and comfort to more and more children and families throughout Italy.

Support to the Caritas Diocesan Foundation of Trento
The Caritas Diocesan Foundation of Trento stands out for its commitment to managing services aimed at promoting the welcoming and support of people in need. Every evening, at the "Mensa della Provvidenza," meals are distributed to over 100 families in need, along with medicines, sleeping bags, blankets, and food parcels. This ongoing effort is made possible thanks to over 300 volunteers, including companies, individuals, parishes, associations, and school classes, who contribute daily, providing essential support to combat poverty and help the most vulnerable groups in the population of Trento. Inser has decided to contribute to this project for the next three years, as a way to help the Foundation ensure continuous service.

Support for the Lene Thun Onlus Foundation
The Lene Thun Onlus Foundation is committed to providing permanent "recreational therapy" services through clay modeling. This type of therapy, scientifically recognized as an effective support to pharmacological treatments, is offered in the pediatric wards of hospitals, mainly in Oncohematology, Pediatrics, Pediatric Surgery, and Child Neuropsychiatry. The foundation operates in 27 facilities (20 in-person and 7 digital) and helps over 9,000 children each year. Each workshop is offered free of charge in the host hospital facilities. To make a concrete contribution to maintaining ceramic therapy workshops in the main cities where Inser operates or in surrounding areas (e.g., Trento, Milan, Bergamo, Trieste), the company has decided to support the Foundation with an annual contribution for the next three years.

Support for sports: alongside Aquila Basket Trento, Trento Calcio, and Trentino Volley, You Energy Volley Piacenza, Centurioni Rugby Lumezzane (BS)
Inser is actively committed to developing sports by supporting various sports activities in the areas where it has developed. This support for sports is not only a way to promote health and physical well-being but also to create a sense of community and identity between Inser and the places where it operates.

Objectives of the Charity Program 2023-2025
Inser Spa's Charity Program 2023-2025 represents a concrete example of how companies can significantly contribute to the sustainable development of communities. Through support for social and sports initiatives, Inser Spa demonstrates its commitment to collective well-being, promoting values of solidarity, inclusion, and social growth.

Reasons for the decision
According to the ermines, first of all, the limits set by individual regulations, including therefore the one referred to by the municipality (and approved by it) are merely indicative, since even immissions that fall within those limits may be considered intolerable. As is well known, tolerability is, in fact, to be assessed taking into account the location, the time of day, the characteristics of the area and the habits of the inhabitants.
Secondly, a public body is also subject to the obligation not to cause noisy immissions and is liable for damages resulting from the injury to the subjective rights of private persons, caused by immissions from public areas, and may consequently be ordered to pay damages, as well as the ‘doing’ necessary to reduce the said immissions to below the threshold of normal tolerability, since such claims do not concern - per se - authoritative and discretionary acts, but a material activity subject to the principle of ‘neminem laedere’ referred to above.

- DPCM of 1997;
- Art. 844 of the Civil Code.

The rationale is to counterbalance the contracting authority's power to identify contracting parties in sub-threshold procedures and to avoid the consolidation of situations of advantage for certain economic operators to the detriment of others who would be deprived of an opportunity to gain.

It follows that this principle does not operate in open procedures, or in substantially open procedures. In fact, paragraph 5 exempts contracting authorities if the market survey ‘was carried out without setting limits on the number of economic operators’.

However, a question remains: does the rotation principle also apply if the outgoing contractor has been indicated as subcontractor?

In the silence of the legislator, the ANAC resolution 344/2020, which considers that there is no obligation to exclude from the tender of a competitor who intends to indicate as subcontractor the economic operator that has a contract with the same contracting station, is still valid.

However, in this first phase of application, numerous difficulties were encountered by contracting stations, and by a communiqué of the President of ANAC dated 28.06.2024, the possibility of using the temporary web interface was extended - until 31 December 2024:
- for direct awards of less than EUR 5,000, but only in the event that it is impossible or difficult to use the PAD;
- for entering into framework agreements and conventions whose notices were published by 31/12/2023 with or without subsequent competitive comparison;
- for the repetition of similar works or services pursuant to Article 76, paragraph 6, of the Code provided for in the original tender documentation relating to procedures published before 31/12/2023;
- for the cases referred to in Resolution No. 584 of 2023, which replaced and integrated Resolution No. 214 of 2022.

In the new procurement code, there is finally a change of course: Legislative Decree 36/2023 repealed the general ban on cascade subcontracting, i.e. the veto on the subcontracting of services already subcontracted.

It therefore stands as a pro-competitive institution, in accordance with the principles in force in the field of European Union-style tendering procedures, responding to the principle of maximum participation in tenders by companies.

On the other hand, subcontracting fulfils (or, perhaps, has always fulfilled) a function that in some respects is similar to that of outsourcing and the R.T.I., allowing, like the latter, the participation in the execution of the contract of entities that would not in themselves have the requisites or the means for the execution of the contract (and even beforehand for participation in the tender), in a competitive perspective and with the ultimate objective of expanding the number of companies potentially participating in public tenders.
