Benedetta Tacchini, Director People&Culture at REPA commented: “Seeing so many colleagues bringing food to our offices on September 29, was impressive. The high participation in this charitable activity perfectly reflects our commitment to supporting the local community. Community is not just one of our six core values, alongside Safety, Integrity, Passion, Courage, and Innovation, written on the posters hanging on our walls. It is a value we have chosen to promote and live by through concrete actions every day."

The food donation was not the only charitable initiative involving REPA in recent weeks. ​
On September 26, Gabriele Nanni, Sales Director Italy, and Mauro Barresi, Key Account Manager QSR & Global Accounts, participated in the Golf Tournament and Charity Dinner organized by the Ronald McDonald Italia ETS Children's Foundation at the Magazzini del Sale in Cervia. ​
The event aimed to raise funds for the foundation’s institutional activities, a non-profit charitable organization that supports families with sick children in times of need.

REPA and its employees remain highly committed to future initiatives aimed at helping those in need, recognizing that even a small contribution can make a big difference.
