Successful entrepreneurs like Frederico Panetta, CEO of Gould Industries, often have mentors and influences that guide them along the way to greatness, leading them to want to give back later in their careers and guide others as their mentors did for them. Mr. Panetta makes tremendous efforts to ensure his employees are well taken care of and the community he resides in prospers, creating several programs and initiatives to make a difference in the lives of as many people as possible.
Programs That Make A Difference: Immigration Assistance
Several programs have been put in place over the last few years to make a difference and an impact on the community and the lives of employees. “We have an immigration program where we sponsor people across the world to come and integrate within our business and community by utilizing their expertise in our production facilities. In the last three years, we’ve helped more than 25 individuals migrate and create a new chapter in their lives in North America.”
Education Opportunities For A Brighter Future & Charity
Gould Industries also makes strides towards education opportunities for its employees. Frederico says, “We also have a university program, where we select an employee yearly that wins a grant that’s 100% funded by us to send a member of their family to university. Every year we participate in countless acts of community service, combining our efforts and time to give out more than 2000 meals to homeless people on Father’s Day.” Gould Industries also donates to United Way of Canada by sponsoring an employee of its longtime partner RBC (The Royal Bank of Canada) for a 600KM run.
Supporting The Arts
Gould Industries is also making philanthropic strides in supporting its community through participation in an annual art festival in Canada. “One project we’re particularly proud of, which we’re announcing on the 16th of November, is our participation in an art contest held every year in Montreal. The artist selected by our jury paints an important wall in our building that we call ‘The Museum Wall.’ It’s great for organic recognition and opens doors for artists to earn commissions, allowing them to promote within our network of partners, suppliers, and customers.”
Care For Employee Health And Safety
At Gould Industries, employees have access to a strong pension plan and health insurance coverage for themselves and their families, reflecting the company’s emphasis on promoting a better tomorrow for every life it touches in the industry and beyond.
