The «Fitness for Kids» Program

Taking on social responsibility, over and above the services it offers, is part of the corporate identity of the insurance company Nationale Suisse: for example by supporting “Fitness for Kids”. The aim here is to motivate children between the ages of six and twelve to take more exercise and eat more healthily in the long term (attitude/respect).

Over the last few years the number of overweight children between the ages of six and twelve has tripled; while the number of those who are obese has even increased more than sixfold. Huge efforts on a broad front are required to counteract obesity, which is a potential health hazard and which has even been declared a global epidemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The six times fitness world champion and founder of “Fitness for Kids”, Franco Carlotto, sets an important example in this area: With his prevention program “Fitness for Kids”, which is supported by Nationale Suisse, he is aiming, with kick-off events, tools and check-up events, to make children and those in their immediate environment more aware, in good time – by means of school visits and various other events, all over Switzerland.
