Sustainability
Safety, Respect for the Environment and Corporate Social Responsibility
Gatta and Sustainability
Sustainability is all about meeting our needs today without undermining the future of the people who will populate the planet tomorrow. This implies a choice that can lead to committed and responsible behaviour or to indifference, both in the private sphere and in working life.
Gatta, whose business has continued to grow alongside three generations of entrepreneurs, is well aware of the importance that a decision taken today can have over time and is therefore very sensitive to the concept of sustainability. This is why the company has chosen to follow its industrial vocation – transforming raw materials into semi-finished products of outstanding quality – in a sustainable way.
For us, Sustainability means Safety, Respect for the Environment and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Safety
Gatta has always adopted the procedures required by safety legislation (Legislative Decree 81/2008). However, we have also taken additional actions, such as the purchase in 2022-23 of 8 rotary lifters to improve safety during handling activities in the production departments.
Respect for the Environment
Our workshops are equipped with suction systems to control and filter atmospheric emissions.
We have installed an energy efficiency system, based on the use of photovoltaic tecnology, with the capacity to produce up to 65% of the energy consumed by the company.
Corporate Social Responsibility
We are committed to supporting the M.R.I. Federation of Rare Childhood Diseases, whose mission is to offer comprehensive care and support to children with rare diseases together with their families. The charity not only works in the field of biomedical research and treatments, but also provides support to cope with the psychological and social issues affecting children’s and teens’ life at home, school and into society, including entry into employment and the promotion of rights for people with disabilities. We are sponsors of the A.S.D. Velo Club Eporediese Cicli Tessiore, whose social and sporting objective is the promotion of cycling among young people aged between 7 and 12/14.
Educational Projects
By organising the “SME Day”, Gatta is supporting a training project designed to introduce the primary school students to the world of work in a practical and engaging way. By using simple and direct language, and with the help of similarities that make it easier and more intuitive to understand how businesses work, the pupils can learn in a setting way different from the classroom, which is inevitably more theory-based, and enjoy an immersive, non-virtual experience of significant aspects of the world of work.
