Waste reduction - CIBO2

In I Gigli no food is wasted! The Shopping Centre, in collaboration with Food Bank, tackles food waste with a programme to recover surplus food from bars, restaurants and the hypermarket. A virtuous circle through which food is immediately redistributed to partner facilities providing food to the least fortunate while ensuring high standards of hygiene and safety.

Let's clean the world

We are involved in the environmental volunteering initiative "Let's clean the world" organised in Italy by Legambiente and sponsored by the Ministry of Environment, Sea and Territory Protection, the Ministry of Education, University and Research, the Union of Italian Provinces and the Municipality of Campi Bisenzio. This initiative took place in Parco della Marinella. First-grade pupils of two middle schools (Scuola Secondaria F. Matteucci, Istituto comprensivo Rita Levi Montalcini) participated in the initiative. The goal was to raise awareness among younger people about the importance of preserving the local environment through tangible actions to make cities cleaner and more livable: a small gesture with a high educational value that develops a sense of civic responsibility among participants.

Sustainable mobility

We, like you, care a lot about our territory. For this reason we promote sustainable mobility: it is possible to start or end electric car rentals at the Shopping Centre Alternatively, customers can use our shuttle bus which has a lower impact on traffic and protects the environment because many people use it at the same tame, which compensates emissions. It's an environmentally-friendly solution!

TOO GOOD TO GO

We work hard to tackle food waste everyday and our intention is to raise awareness and inspire anyone to fight against this issue. I Gigli supports the TOO GOOD TO GO initiative in order to provide an easy, swift and intuitive tool for customers and businesses against food waste. Positive feedback was received by shops who make unsold food available to reduce waste as well as from customers who buy delicious food at low prices It's a simple way to tackle food waste locally while having an important environmental impact globally.
