Corporate Social Responsibility Report
Giorgio Ardito
President, ATC Torino
Working with similar national and international bodies, ATC Torino intends
to create a model and system for evaluating them and their actions from
03
a different perspective, so that comparisons can be made.
In this way, we can also compare the distinctive features of our social mis-
sion, which consists of subsidized and to a lesser extent incentivized and
contracted management of public real properties, with other, not neces-
sarily public bodies.
ATC Torino’s evaluation plans also include a focus on more critical aspects,
while at the same time highlighting all actions that have a social impact
on and are socially useful to the community and the region. This especially
regards parties who have relationships with the agency as recipients,
clients, or other types of stakeholders (institutions, associations, citizens).

Angelo Ventura
General Manager, ATC Torino
The commitment expressed in the last edition of the Enterprise Social Respon-
sibility report was reaffirmed this year: we want to provide a uniform, yet quite
concise depiction of what the Agency’s services have accomplished for the en-
07
tire structure, the social fabric, and all parties involved.
The ESR report allows us to highlight the action and underscore the process
that has already begun, as well as organize results and report the Agency’s cur-
rent practices: a management system that uses indices and indicators for plan-
ning and control purposes, with verifiable and verified objectives.
The standard of reference set out in the table of Eurho-GR® indicators and the
reporting process used throughout the Eurhonet European network, has been
changed from the previous year, and has been amended and improved to better
describe the situation in which the Agency operates.
This has also made it possible to identify several specific indicators common
to all bodies which are part of the Eurhonet network, for a European-level com-
parison of the actions undertaken: in the future, the goal is to extend the com-
parison to other aspects of the social mission as well.
Seeing how we and others measure up, comparing our own results with those
of other organizations, is always an opportunity for improvement that should
be seized and taken advantage of in order to improve our services.

As a way to reduce their rent, these young people offer a certain number of hours
of service in lieu of rent, about 10 hours a week.
Each of the young volunteers thus becomes a contact person for the inhabitants of
the public housing complexes, who can turn to them twenty-four hours a day. Some
of their duties include: conflict management, assistance to seniors living alone, or-
ganizing and cleaning yards and entryways, and organizing entertainment for chil-
dren and cultural activity days.
Early experiments have overall been positive, and while a few adjustments are nee-

Over recent years, particularly with regard to the
group leader, we have succeeded in guaranteeing a
significant flow of interest income that has helped
keep the Agency’s overall financial situation balan-
ced and protect all stakeholders. In addition, the
loans taken out have a very low cost of money (in
historic terms), which is not only due to outside va-
riables such as low market rates, but also to varia-
bles where action has been taken, primarily by
obtaining spreads lower than what companies can
normally find on the market.
