Raising awareness of addiction is essential for fostering a more informed and responsible society. Understanding its causes and consequences helps to prevent risky behaviours and reduce the stigma surrounding substance use disorders.

As part of our ongoing commitment to community well-being, Mitsubishi Electric has been collaborating for years with various organisations dedicated to raising awareness and supporting individuals affected by addiction.

In November 2024, we were pleased to partner with ATS Monza Brianza, the CS&L Consortium, and colleagues from other companies on our campus to provide our employees with a unique learning experience. On 6th and 7th November, we hosted the Mind Trick exhibition at our headquarters, offering an immersive journey into the world of addiction.

The exhibition is an interactive initiative developed as part of the WHP (Workplace Health Promotion) project, launched by the Lombardy Region to encourage healthier lifestyles in the workplace.

Through a guided tour across seven thematic stations—covering drugs, alcohol, smoking, gambling, internet addiction, nutrition, and common misconceptions—participants engaged in simulations and specially designed activities. These hands-on experiences helped them better understand the impact of addiction and the importance of prevention.

By supporting initiatives like this, we strive to foster greater awareness and encourage positive change within our communities.
