As a part of our WeAct initiatives that Chiesi started in 2018, Chiesi Australia partnered with OzHarvest to have more of a positive impact on our community and the environment. The WeAct initiative is about looking at how, as a company, we can actively raise awareness and act as a force for good, to have a positive impact on our people, community, patients and environment.
OzHarvest stood out to the team as a company we wanted to make a positive impact with as they work to save the surplus food from ending up in landfill and instead delivering this food to charities to help feed people in need. Thea team participated in the "Cooking for a Cause" class, a team building experience in which you can learn zero-waste cooking skills, led by OzHarvest chefs. Cooking for a Cause was a hands-on cooking experience and opportunity to transform rescued ingredients into gourmet meals to support vulnerable communities, while providing practical zero-waste tips and tricks for you to apply at home.
During August and October, the Chiesi Australia Team where able to make over 600 meals for their communities, through the wonderful initiative. Giving back to our community and caring for our people, patients and planet are extremely important to us at Chiesi, and making a positive impact through this initiative is something we are all extremely proud of.
