  "account": "Fiere di Parma has doubled its smart working opportunities for its 90 employees, granting them an extra day of remote work per week, or four days per month. Starting this month, each employee can choose a second day of smart working, in addition to the one already scheduled. This is not mandatory, but it demonstrates the effectiveness of the company's organizational model and increases flexibility in an industry where physical presence is crucial due to the intensive nature of trade fairs and the professions involved.\n\nThe decision comes amid rising fuel costs, with companies like Eni, Ip, and Q8 easing restrictions. Antonio Cellie, Fiere di Parma's CEO, explained that the expansion of smart working was a response to the increasing burden of commuting costs on families' budgets. \"We chose to expand an existing work mode, giving each employee the chance to benefit from an additional day of smart working, which immediately reduces a daily expense and offers workers and their families another tool to navigate these times. Our focus on people has always been one of the founding values of Fiere di Parma,\" he added.\n\nFiere di Parma's approach aligns with the International Energy Agency's recommendation to use remote work as a tool to reduce fuel consumption due to commuting. For employees traveling over 30 kilometers a day, each smart working day saves about 47.5 kilometers per round trip. Over three months, this translates to avoiding 570 kilometers, 35 liters of fuel, a savings of approximately 76 euros, and 90 kilograms of CO₂ emissions. Extending this to two smart working days per week increases the quarterly benefit to about 1,140 kilometers avoided, 70 liters of fuel saved, around 150 euros in economic savings, and 180 kilograms of CO₂ emissions reduced.\n\nFor those commuting over 50 kilometers daily, the individual savings from the additional smart working day could reach around 96 euros in fuel costs, with 112 kilograms of CO₂ avoided in the October-December quarter. Two smart working days per week could yield savings of about 200 euros in fuel costs and 220 kilograms of CO₂ emissions in the same period.",
