Annual report
From the 2019, the FIdC Federcaccia has initiated a process of social and environmental reporting, entrusted to an external firm, with the aim of objectively and comparably representing the social value generated nationwide through the many initiatives conducted at the municipal, provincial, and regional levels. This commitment has led to the Federcaccia Social Report, now in its sixth edition, the results of which were presented during the National Assembly held today in Rome. Reflecting the growing awareness of the importance of highlighting local achievements, the number of chapters that responded to the invitation to complete the questionnaire on which the Social Report is based has increased by 49% compared to the previous year. The data collected—although still partial—shows that in 2024 the Federation implemented 615 local initiatives, including 305 social initiatives, 117 environmental initiatives, and 193 directly related to hunting.
Lines of strong interest
From the analysis of the environmental and social issues considered most relevant to those involved in the Federation's activities, several areas of strong interest emerged:
Promotion and protection of sustainable and regulated hunting
Youth involvement in hunting activities
Wildlife protection and management
Participation in trade fairs and exhibitions
Female involvement in hunting activities and in the governance of the FIdC
Promotion and insurance coverage for members
Claims Management
Protecting the health and safety of hunting members
Consistent with previous years, the socioeconomic impact generated by socio-environmental initiatives has been quantified, amounting to €3.261.932, with an average impact per initiative of €7.785.
Other initiatives
Environmental initiatives generated an estimated economic and social impact of €1.534.468, equal to approximately 47% of the total, with an average impact of €13.115 per initiative. The breakdown of environmental initiatives highlights the Federation's strong commitment to various areas of environmental protection: approximately 54% is dedicated to wildlife management, 38% to environmental protection initiatives, and the remaining 9% to health surveillance activities. Social initiatives, particularly training initiatives with 173 initiatives, are the most numerous, 302 in total, generating an estimated socio-economic impact of €1.727.464, with an average impact per initiative of €5.720.
Social side
Compared to 2023, the overall social impact increased by 7,6%, confirming the FIdC's central role in promoting sustainable hunting and demonstrating, with objective data rather than mere impressions, that hunting does not represent a cost to society, but a resource of primary importance. The 2024 Social Report also highlights further considerations. The membership's demographic composition is confirmed, with an average age of 61,1 years. The Federation's commitment to communicating and informing on hunting and environmental issues is also recognized: communication channels and social media are fundamental tools for the Federation, which has seen a 57,3% increase in Instagram followers for its regional/provincial sections compared to 2023 and an 11,5% increase in Facebook followers.
