Kena is the Group’s second mobile brand, while TIMVision produces and distributes entertainment content.

In 2021 TIM reached the Carbon Neutrality of its websites thanks to an international project to protect over 28 thousand hectares of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.   The Group has in fact chosen to support the VCS - 1329 - Maísa REDD+ Project, a project that promotes the conservation and sustainable management of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, through the monitoring of illegal deforestation and the involvement of local populations to preserve the biodiversity of flora and fauna.

TIM has also supported two forestry redevelopment projects in Italy to increase urban green areas and generate services for the territory.

The first in the North Park of Milan where, together with the Climate Network team, the Group employees planted, In spring 2022, 150 new plants among trees and shrubs within a valuable forest regeneration event that contributes to increasing urban green areas and generating ecosystem services for the local territory.

The second one in Umbria where, in collaboration with the Climate Network team, TIM supported the Sustainable Forest Management (GFS) project in the areas of the Forest of Città della Pieve-Piegaro (PG).

The Parco Nord Milano forestation activity and the forest management activity in Umbria are part of Foresta Italia, the new National Climate Network forestation campaign that started in spring 2022 in partnership with Coldiretti and PEFC.

To continue reducing the environmental impact of all production activities, TIM supported a new forest conservation project in February 2023, with the objective of neutralising 2022 emissions generated by the use of the Group’s websites.

The project VCS 1382 - The Envira Amazonia Project, in Brazil insists on an area of 39,000 hectares of tropical forest and generates an average reduction of 1,259,646 tons of CO2 emissions per year for a period of 30 years from 2012 to 2042. The project helps to protect the critical habitat for endangered wildlife and in particular protects the presence of at least four endemic plants of the IUCN Red List of threatened species: acreana, odorata, longistipulata and macrophylla.
