Cardio-protected company
Since the 8th of February, ICT Ibérica has become part of the Lifeguard Project and has been integrated into the Network of Cardio-Protected Companies of Aragon. In order to improve medical care for our workers, three defibrillators (Expedition Building, Converting Zone and Paper Mill Zone) have been installed to reduce the intervention time. In addition, 30 workers have been trained in basic first aid (Basic Life Support) and the necessary skills to be able to carry out the first care of cardiac arrest until the arrival of the specialized teams. In this way we have 2 people trained per shift and zone. The defibrillators are semi-automatic and, in case of emergency, could be used by anyone, as a voice guides you at all times and will not perform the shock if you are not in cardiac arrest. The initiative was very well received by all staff and has aroused interest in first aid among many workers.
ICT Group remains committed to sustainability and environmental protection
After starting up the two vacuum generating systems at the paper mills in Italy, a third one was installed at the ICT Poland plant. The new vacuum generating system for PM11 consists of two blowers, two hydraulic separators and two flow meters for drainage control. It saves between 30 and 70% of energy and does not consume any water, unlike traditional vacuum systems. Thanks to the efficient heat recovery systems located on the exhaust of the blowers, the process water taken from the river can be heated, thus further reducing energy consumption. The system is clearly one of the best solutions in terms of energy saving and reliability.

Showing respect is the best way to earn respect
For years, ICT Poland has been paying special attention to employee relations and has been committed to building a cohesive culture. This is why the company decided to take things a step further by defining good practices to show respect towards colleagues. The project, called “Expressions of Respect”, involved employees at all company levels. From the operations department to the company’s top management, everyone was involved in this great team effort, which, through a series of workshops, led to a list being drawn up of the 10 expressions of respect that are considered to be most important: a constant driver for all company members.
