The project, sustained by the funding, enabled made it possible to:

• optimize the production process by reintegrating the skills and production of external machining in-house, leading to decreased waiting times for finished product components
• reduce production and process lead times
• improve delivery times
• improve the quality and tracking of manufactured products
• increase employees’ digital skills
• Contribute to environmental sustainability by mitigating CO2 emissions through the restriction of outward and return transportation of semi-finished products to third-party processing facilities.

With the implementation of an Energy Management System, in accordance with UNI CEI EN ISO 50001:2018, the necessary strategies have been put in place to analyse energy consumption, to activate energy performance plans, targets and indicators, to reduce consumption and to identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency.

By adopting an Environmental Management System and obtaining UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 certification, the company has equipped itself with dynamic tools to be effective and useful to the corporate structure in order to eliminate or reduce risks due to the variability and complexity of the context, UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 applies a Risk-Based Thinking logic to the analysis of organisational processes and Environmental Impacts with a Life Cycle Assessment perspective.

Today, a company’s success is not only measured by profits and sales, but also by the care and well-being of its employees.

GS Industry recognises the importance of employees as a key resource for business success, which is why the company has adopted a holistic approach that promotes well-being and work-life balance and has introduced a corporate welfare system.

This system aims to support employees in various aspects of their lives, including benefits in various areas from health to leisure. Among the various proposals offered by the welfare platform is the possibility of using holiday bonuses: a real game changer for GS Industry employees, especially at a time when holiday costs are constantly rising. With the opportunity to convert bonuses into a holiday.

The corporate welfare system adopted by GS Industry reflects GS’ commitment to innovative solutions through intuitive digital platforms where employees have easy access to information about their bonuses, enabling them to make informed decisions and manage their resources efficiently.

On 13 July 2023 GS Industry participated with 40 guests in the charity dinner “Sognando sotto le stelle” (Dreaming under the stars).

An evening in support of Doctors with Africa CUAMM, the first NGO in the health field recognised in Italy and the largest Italian organisation for the promotion and protection of the health of African populations. The history of the CUAMM tells the human and professional adventure of more than 1,600 people sent to 41 countries of intervention, mainly in Africa, to bring care and services even to those living in the poorest parts of the world. An adventure that began in 1950 and has never been interrupted, between Angola, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Central African Republic, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.

The evening, organised at the Ristorante al Tezzon in Camposampiero, was conducted by journalist Nicoletta Masetto and featured Don Dante Carraro as guest of honour.

GS Industry is supporting the fourth edition of “Chef per Bene”, a charity evening conceived and organised by Vignato Events in support of the Oncology Department of the Vicenza Hospital: four of the most talented Italian chefs, all from Vicenza, will be cooking for 250 guests.

This time too, the beneficiaries of the initiative are the Amici del Quinto Piano (Friends of the Fifth Floor): a group of volunteers set up with the aim of supporting cancer patients, former patients and their families by involving them in activities related to culture, wellness, nutrition and the promotion of patients’ rights.

Thanks to the funds raised during the previous editions of “Chef per Bene”, it was possible to set up two important projects: “SeTA- Servizio di Terapia Alimentare” and “SPES – Servizio Psicologico Empatico Solidale”.

The first is a nutritional counselling service active one day a week and open free of charge to both patients in active treatment and follow-up. The aim is to help the cancer patient by providing guidance and nutritional advice tailored to the individual’s needs. The outpatient clinic is managed by Dr. Giaretta (together with Drs. Bonamonte and Busin), who has always been active on the subject of the relationship between nutrition and oncology, in collaboration with the medical director Dr. Aprile and the Oncology nursing staff. The outpatient clinic, established in 2017, carried out 387 visits from 01/01/2022 to 31/12/2022, 86 of which were first visits.

“SPES”, on the other hand, offers psychological support not only to the patient but to the entire family; the outpatient clinic is run by Dr Paola Onestini who, in 2022, met with 100 patients for a total of 456 meetings.

 

“In the era of precision oncology,’ says Dr. Giuseppe Aprile, Director of the Vicenza Department of Oncology, ‘humanisation for the cancer patient and his global care remain fundamental. We have responded to this need by activating the two outpatient clinics dealing with clinical nutrition and psychology: two free services dedicated to the cancer patient both during active treatment and at the end of specialist therapy. These services have met with the favour and enthusiasm of many hundreds of patients who have already been evaluated: some results will be presented at national oncology conferences. The scientific societies (AIOM and CIPOMO among them all) and the superordinate institutions are also sensitive to the problem: innovation can only be brought to the patient’s bedside if there is parallel support of the nutrition and emotional framework”.

 

“We are truly grateful to all those who, with donations, sponsorships, or with the gift of their qualified professionalism or simply with their attention, continue to make this important nutritional project possible,” says Francesca Lovato on behalf of the entire Group. “We would particularly like to emphasise how the generosity of so many is for us a sign of energy that gives strength and restores our conviction that we are part of a community that knows how to take charge of the problems and needs of those who face cancer illnesses”.

The two projects, like many other valuable activities promoted by the Amici del Quinto Piano, are in constant need of support: hence the idea of turning “Chef per Bene” into a format to be repeated every year.

 

The greatest exponents of Vicenza cuisine have enthusiastically accepted the challenge, designing an ad hoc menu for the evening under the banner of taste, balance and refinement.

Taking turns at the cooker will be starred chefs Carlo Cracco, Nicola Portinari, Corrado Fasolato and the famous, multi-award-winning pastry chef Francesco Ballico.

 “It makes me proud to once again be among the chefs taking part in this special event,’ says Nicola Portinari, ‘I met the Group years ago and have never stopped working with them since. This time too, I have created an excellent brigade, involving many of my colleagues from Vicenza. It is nice to combine our cuisine with the concept of wellness.”

 

Many corporate sponsors, including GS Industry, contributed to the event by covering the costs of the evening and ensuring that the entire proceeds went to the Amici del Quinto Piano group.
