Gatta and Sustainability
Sustainability is all about meeting our needs today without compromising the future of the people who will populate the planet tomorrow. This implies a choice that can lead to committed and responsible behaviour, or indifference, both in the private sphere and in working life.
Gatta, whose business has continued to grow through 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 Support for the Community.
Safety
Gatta has always adopted the procedures provided for by safety legislation (Legislative Decree 81/2008). However, we have also included additional measures, such as the purchase in 2022-3 of 8 robotic manipulators to improve safe handling in the machine shop.
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 photovoltaic power, with the capacity to produce up to 65% of the energy consumed by the company.
Support for the Community
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 and their families. The charity works not only in the field of biomedical research and treatments, but also offers support with the psychological and social aspects affecting children and teens at home, school and wider society, including integration into the workplace 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.
Training and education
By organising the “PMI Day”, Gatta is supporting a training project designed to introduce primary-age children to the workplace 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, children can learn in a setting different from the classroom, which is inevitably more theory-based, and enjoy an immersive, non-virtual experience of certain aspects of workplace life.
