GasanMamo sails out for its summer party
Last month, the Social Activity team at GasanMamo Insurance organised a boat party for staff in what turned out to be an enjoyable night for colleagues outside their place of work. The company believes that these types of events stimulate a healthy work culture and cultivates trust within the group. Moreover, productivity and performance level increases in a friendly workplace.
The GasanMamo staff were bursting with energy as they enjoyed a good party on board, with good music throughout the night and a moonlight swim. Certainly, this was the best way for the employees to dance their stress away while enjoying a good drink with colleagues and delicious food.
“I strongly believe that co-workers who have fun together build a stronger bond and form a better team. Such events are enormously significant and help improve staff morale within the company,” General Manager Vanessa Portelli said.
For this event, the social activity group at GasanMamo took the initiative to reinforce the company’s statement of sustainability and respect for the environment by choosing 100 per cent compostable cups which were used during the event. These cups were made by Evolveco; a team of five students from St Aloysius College. Their products are an alternative to single-use products such as cold and hot cups, cup lids and straws. All products are 100 per cent compostable and degrade within 90 days.
“At GasanMamo our commitment is focused on where we have the best opportunity to make a difference. Environmental sustainability usually addresses how the needs of the present can be met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs with an emphasis on protection of natural resources and the environment. Certainly, thanks to this type of initiative, we are helping and contributing to our environment since these compostable cups are a replacement for unrecyclable plastic alternatives. We believe that operating a green business is instrumental in creating and leading positive change,” Managing Director Julian Mamo said.
