In the context of the corporate Christmas gifts, the question many people are asking themselves is no longer just what to give as a gift, but why to do so. More and more companies have begun to question the meaning of gift-giving: is it a ritual gesture or an opportunity to convey their identity, choices and vision? Hence the growth of charity gifts, favoured by those who want to associate their brand with a clear message: we create value whilst giving back.
It is in this context that the Telefono Rosa Charity Panettone, the Longo project launched at Christmas 2025 to support women who are victims of violence. For every panettone sold were €2.50 donated, transforming a symbol of the Christmas tradition into a means of practical solidarity.
