CGM won CONAI Award 2025

CGM won CONAI Award 2025

For the third time, CGM participated in the Eco-design Award Event, organized by CONAI (National Packaging Consortium), and once again won the award for the use of recycled plastic 5 kg buckets for UT consumables, replacing those made from virgin plastic.

This important achievement, which follows those obtained in 2019 and 2022, testifies CGM’s efforts to protect and respect the environment by increasingly using eco-sustainable packaging for its products. We are particularly proud to contribute in our own little diversion to improving environmental conditions, and it is our goal to continue along this path, strengthening our collaboration with CONAI.

Christmas lunch 2025

Also this year, before the Christmas holidays, CGM decided to bring all its employees together for the traditional Christmas lunch. As usual, the Management took the opportunity to review what had been achieved during 2025, expressing its satisfaction with everyone’s commitment to the implementation of important projects.

Once the company financial statements had been reviewed, the day continued in the best possible way: it was an opportunity to celebrate together, in the atmosphere of harmony that characterises our working life and has always been one of CGM’s fundamental principles.

This year once again took place the award ceremony for colleagues who reached 10, 20 or 30 years of militancy in the company, followed by the traditional “Christmas lottery” with various prizes to be won by the luckiest among us.

Here you can find some snapshots from the event and we wish everyone a Happy New Year!

ADMO in CGM

On Tuesday 4 November, we had the pleasure of welcoming volunteers from the Association of Bone Marrow Donors (ADMO) to our headquarters. They came to inform and raise awareness about their activities and the importance of registering with the Italian Bone Marrow Donor Registry. Through donation, it is possible to fight leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other blood cancers.

After a brief introduction by Dr Fabrizio Motta, in which he presented key data on transplants in Italy, Europe and worldwide and provided some basic information, Giada shared her personal experience with us, describing the process of discovering and healing her illness. It is not the right place to go into details, but it was certainly a particularly touching moment that emotionally affected everyone present: when we think for even a few moments about what it means to go through the different stages of such illnesses, not only for the person directly affected (who is not even thirty years old) but also for her whole family and loved ones, it is impossible to remain indifferent. By registering with the Donor Registry, it is possible to give hope to many people, often young men and women in the prime of their life and, sadly, many children too.

The meeting ended with a few questions for Giuseppe, the ADMO representative, who was happy to answer all our questions. However, the most important moment of the whole day took place shortly afterwards, when our younger colleagues, aged between 18 and 36 (the age limits for registering), decided to apply to become potential donors.

Beyond the many fine words that can be said, often circumstantial and saturated with rather sterile rhetoric, we believe that the gesture of our young colleagues has a much greater significance: you certainly did not do it to receive our praise, but we are all very proud of you!

Finally, a special thanks to Anna Mori, our colleague who organised the meeting. Information and awareness are the first steps towards trying to improve things: thanks to her, CGM has been able to make its contribution.

CGM at Relay Milano Marathon 2025

Building on the experiences of past editions, this year the Running Team CGM participated on Sunday, April 6th, at the starting line of the Relay Milano Marathon 2025. However, this time we decided to go all out: two teams of brave runners. The first team – composed of Eugenio, Niccolò, Clara, and Michele – was entrusted with the challenging task of battling fiercely to beat our best time, thus setting a new company record. The second team – composed of Arianna, Martina, and Ramona – was given the noble task of participating with proud and untamed adventurous spirit and completing the mission. Our champions, dressed in shining battle attire (as seen in the photos), achieved their goals with ineffable tenacity, determination, sacrifice, and camaraderie: on a beautiful sunny day, disturbed only by a persistent wind, the front-line runners finished their race in 4 hours, 14 minutes, and 35 seconds, setting a record that will be hard to surpass for future generations. As for our ladies, they completed the set course with satisfaction and unperturbed grace, and that’s more than enough to earn them the praise they deserve.

However, it’s now time to get serious for a moment, because CGM’s presence at the Relay Milano Marathon is not just for the mere enjoyment of the participants, but instead serves much greater purposes. CGM has once again committed to supporting the charitable initiatives that distinguish the event: we decided to renew our support for the third consecutive year to the Dynamo Camp Foundation, which for years has been offering free Recreational Therapy programs to children and adolescents with chronic illnesses – either in therapy or during the post-hospitalization period – to restore their self-confidence and belief in their abilities, while also improving the quality of life for their families.
The non-profit work done by the Dynamo Camp Foundation is truly commendable, and we couldn’t be prouder to contribute as much as possible to the continuation of their invaluable work, hoping it will constantly improve over time. The participation of two CGM teams should be seen in this light: a doubling of the financial contribution is proof of how essential the company believes it is to support such organizations.

In conclusion: once again, we must extend our sincerest congratulations, team! We are all very proud of you, your dedication, and the good you’ve helped bring to many children and their families: See you again in 2026, always ready at the starting blocks: ad maiora!
