We have decided to recognise sharing as its most profound meaning of \u201chave in common\u201d rather than \u201csplitting\u201d, which has sparked a renewed sense of purpose in our efforts to deal with environmental, social and governmental issues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite the ambiguity that still very much characterises our current scenario, we have pursued an idea that we have moulded into a concrete guiding principle for 2021.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The path that our company has walked this year was an undoubtedly positive one, with important milestones such as our New York office celebrating its tenth anniversary<\/a> and the addition of various young team members. This reminds us that our perspective shapes and defines our everyday lives.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As such, building on the precedent set last year, the board of directors has taken extraordinary steps. They have awarded a\u00a0\u201cSharing Bonus\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0to all employees and interns not included in the incentive plans or in variable pay systems, for a total of over 60 employees both in Italy and abroad. It is a reward of great emotional importance through which the company can concretely support all its employees and stand by them effectively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The\u00a0Best Employee of the Year<\/em><\/strong> prize was likewise awarded this year, in recognition of employees who have distinguished themselves through their professional achievements. The fourth edition of the award recognised Letizia Castiello and Roberta Triscari their efforts, whom we thank wholeheartedly for their unique enthusiasm and dedication.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A further step towards sharing was taken in 2021: to benefit all employees, collaborators and their families, the company finalised the establishment of the new B&P Welfare Portal in collaboration with Edenred<\/strong>, the leading global player in the company welfare services market. The portal is an integrated solution which includes all services in a single place, such as formative and personal growth workshops, sports, travel, healthcare assistance, pension and others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If sharing means awareness of local communities and landscapes, this year the board of directors agreed on a\u00a0solidarity contribution<\/strong>\u00a0destined to both the \u201cOpera San Francesco per i Poveri\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0foundation as well as the \u201cPane Quotidiano\u201d<\/strong> non-profit organization. The two charities are based in Milan and daily provide hot meals to the poor and needy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These donations will be made in January 2022, as the concerns of those most in need are often forgotten in the weeks following the Christmas festivities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But there are also other areas and communities with which we share the same air, land and future that the company has decided to support. The Barabino & Partners Forest<\/strong><\/a> in Kenya was established this year, in collaboration with the BCorp Treedom, which plants trees and agroforestry systems to encourage biodiversity, reduce CO2 emissions and build profitable agricultural enterprises to the local population.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
