Giacomini has started a carpooling project for its staff among a group of companies along Lake Orta (Italy).
From now on, all Giacomini staff who wish to join the carpooling community can use the app ‘JOJOB’ to configure the best combination to get to their workplace, thus making it very easy for everybody involved.
The project has been developed in collaboration with our local partner companies Cimberio, Paffoni, and F.lli Pettinaroli, creating the "Carpooling Lago d'Orta" community. Is, therefore, a shared effort also between more companies from the area in order to improve the overall life quality of the zone, for business employees and local area population.
With carpooling, there are tons of benefits. This will reduce the emissions from thermic cars, leading to a global energy saving, as less cars will be moving about on a daily basis. Furthermore, fewer cars also means more available parking, making it easier for carpoolers to find a free spot, thus all users are rewarded with more personal time.
Aiming to be a more sustainable company implies a great effort, with constant innovations in production and product design. But it is also based on implementing small steps in day-to-day actions aiming in this direction: carpooling is one of these small changes that can make a noticeable difference.
