“The Manifesto of non-hostile communication for sport is another important step on the Club’s social responsibility journey,” said Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis.
“AC Milan's RespACT campaign aims to create a more inclusive, open and responsible environment around the Club and provide a positive example for the football world. We have decided to support this extremely worthy project to provide our global family of over 500 million Rossoneri with concrete guidelines aimed at creating an increasingly healthy and positive digital environment and banning intolerance and discrimination, in all its forms.”
