Presentation of the research supported by the Turin Chamber of Commerce and conducted by CeVIS

Tuesday, March 18, 2025 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM FIOM Headquarters, Via Sacra di San Michele 31, Turin

On March 18, 2025, in Turin, the FIOM headquarters on Via Sacra di San Michele 31 will host the presentation of the research “Assessment of the Social Impact of the Potential Closure of Two Manufacturing Plants in the Piedmont Region.” The study, strongly advocated by CGIL and FIOM, was funded by the Turin Chamber of Commerce as part of Torino Social Impact and conducted by CeVIS – Center of Expertise for the Evaluation and Measurement of Social Impact.

This innovative study, particularly in its methodology, examines the negative consequences for workers, local businesses, and the broader territory resulting from the potential closures of LEAR Corporation and TE Connectivity plants.

This initiative is unique at the national level, not only because of the institutional dynamics that enabled its realization but also because it demonstrates how social impact assessment could become a valuable tool not just for ex post evaluation but also for ex ante decision-making. It offers a strategic framework for resource allocation and territorial development planning.

The event will open with institutional remarks from Edi Lazzi, General Secretary of FIOM Turin, and Dario Gallina, President of the Turin Chamber of Commerce. Following the presentation of the research, a roundtable discussion will take place featuring:

• Federico Bellono, General Secretary of CGIL Turin
• Dario Gallina, President of the Turin Chamber of Commerce
• Marco Gay, President of the Turin Industrial Union
• Umberto D’Ottavio, President of the North-West Territorial Pact

The discussion will be moderated by Filomena Greco, journalist at Il Sole 24 Ore.
