850 m2 for the new canteen, new changing rooms and a training room, without consuming land

Busi Group - the Italian leader in complete solutions for the collection, compaction and transport of waste - has invested € 1,500,000 to expand the spaces and increase services for employees at its Paitone headquarters.
The group acquired and renovated a building for the creation of the new canteen and the new changing rooms for workers, a room dedicated to training courses and the new caretaker's flat: an additional 850 m2 obtained without consuming land but by redeveloping an abandoned building in Via delle Brede 1, with particular attention to energy efficiency thanks to insulation, the use of heat pumps and the integration of the new building with the network of the 500KW photovoltaic system, already active at the Busi Group.
The new company canteen, also designed with environmental sustainability in mind, is "plastic-free" and has a fully equipped kitchen that will serve around 150 meals a day in collaboration with Zanardelli Catering, an important Brescia catering company. The investment and the characteristics of the canteen are part of a broader sustainability project, which also aims to reduce the use of private transport for the home/work lunch break, thanks to the economic advantage of the meal in the canteen, the welcoming environment and the quality of the food.
"We are proud to inaugurate the new building at Busi Group's headquarters, an important investment that further demonstrates our company's bond with the municipality of Paitone and our attention to our employees and the environment. In recent years we have had a steady increase in the number of employees, despite the difficult and uncertain period, and it was necessary to expand and rethink some spaces. Many employees come from the local area and neighbouring municipalities, but as we have grown, so have employees from other areas. The new canteen will allow everyone to eat lunch in a safe, economical and sustainable way," said Fratelli Busi.
