For-Te, Esprinet’s social project

The first delivery service in Italy carried out entirely by people with learning disabilities.

Esprinet / Sustainability / Initiatives for Sustainability / Sustainability – Project FOR-TE

The FOR-TE Project which began in 2019 aims to create an opportunity to integrate people with disabilities into the working world, offering customers a service that saves them time and costs while simultaneously making them feel like part of a project with an
important social impact.

 

FOR-TE is the first delivery service in Italy entirely carried out by people with intellectual disabilities.

 

With FOR-TE, the Esprinet Group achieved the perfect integration of a social project into its core business, demonstrating that sustainability is no longer just an ancillary activity, but a real source of value creation.

 

In its fourth year of activity, the For-te project employs 18 people; 10 working at the Esprivillage in Cesano Boscone and 8 at the Esprivillage in Cinisello Balsamo - two of the 17 Esprinet points of sale located throughout Italy.

How does the For-Te project work

The ten people who are part of the For-Te initiative take care of delivering the products in their backpack every day, moving around on foot or via public transportation.

After closing an order received from the Esprivillage in Cesano Boscone - one of the 17 Esprinet stores located throughout Italy - those customers that purchase goods with a relevant weight and size, are offered the free “For-Te” service, with possibility to deliver even to end users.

Every morning, the Esprivillage staff prepares the orders for the For-Te staff, who, in the early afternoon, load their backpacks and receive the delivery indications, under the coordination and supervision of one of the L’Impronta Group operators, who will follow the delivery in real time.

The project involved also the Tucano, Jabra and Nilox vendors, which recognized its social-economic validity, by providing part of the technical instruments used.

The For-Te project completed 1,082 deliveries in 2019, and 731 in 2020.

For-Te even during the health emergency

The health emergency and the strict safety provisions led the Esprinet Group to rethink the For-Te project organization.

In order to protect the people involved in the deliveries, comply with current regulations and extend this service to companies, the delivery service has been partially repurposed. Deliveries of Esprinet tech products continued with the use of vans owned by the Cooperative, in order to avoid using public transportation.

In addition, to tangibly meet the social struggles brought on by Covid-19, the Esprinet Group has decided to optimize the For-Te service, by also using the delivery method to deliver basic necessities.

« The challenge was to increase the company's value through the creation of a true sustainable business, characterised by a strong social impact for all stakeholders involved. »
