• we are partners of the protocols for the Forlì’s prison workshops, which train and provide work to detainees in assembly, welding, carpentry and paper milling to aid their reintegration in society. CEPI commissions welding work, pallets and panels on the machine, as well as artistic pieces from the Manolibera laboratory for decorative use in our headquarters, in Christmas baskets or as exclusive gifts to our customers and collaborators. The welding workshop, which CEPI strongly wanted and supported, was launched in 2020 and in addition to job creation through internships and regular hiring provides high-level argonist training, including teaching technical drawing and how to read it. The parties involved in the protocol have recently established themselves as a social enterprise in Altremani, of which Davide Saputo, our Head of Factory and Director for Health and Safety, is a partner
