RICO Group is committed to breast cancer awareness

October is traditionally marked by the Breast Cancer Awareness Month - a global movement that draws attention to breast cancer, provides information on early detection and supports those affected. The RICO Group also took part this year with great commitment. Campaigns were held at several locations that not only raised awareness of this important issue, but also promoted team spirit and cohesion.

Education and community at RICO and HTR

At RICO and HTR, the month was all about information and exchange. In an informative presentation by our company doctor, employees learned more about breast cancer, risk factors, prevention options and early detection. The aim was to break down inhibitions, answer questions and emphasize the importance of regular examinations.

At a second meeting, the ladies got creative together: during an interactive afternoon, colleagues made pink ribbons, the international symbol of breast cancer awareness. The whole thing was accompanied by a Breast Cancer Bingo, which conveyed knowledge about the topic in a playful way - and of course there was also a treat: pink punch doughnuts ensured a good mood and a sweet conclusion.

SIMTEC runs for a good cause

Our American site SIMTEC also set a strong example. The team took part in the annual "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" walk - a large, nationwide movement that raises funds for research, prevention and support for those affected. Together with thousands of other participants, our colleagues walked to show solidarity and make a contribution to the fight against breast cancer. This effort once again shows that commitment knows no borders - and that solidarity unites people across continents.

Information campaign at Silcoplast

At the Silcoplast site, the focus was on education. Information sheets and materials on the topic of breast cancer were displayed there to impart knowledge and stimulate conversation. The availability of easily accessible information raised awareness of prevention and early detection - a small but important step towards raising awareness of the topic in the long term.

Taking responsibility - promoting awareness

The various campaigns within the RICO Group clearly show that health and prevention are important to us.
As a group of companies, we see it as our responsibility to openly address and raise awareness of issues such as breast cancer and to encourage our employees to take an active approach to their health. At the same time, it is important to us to stick together as a community and live our commitment - be it through education, donations or joint activities.

A strong signal - and a look ahead

With the numerous campaigns in October, all RICO Group sites sent out a strong signal: Awareness, solidarity and mutual support make all the difference. We are proud of our teams, who showed so much passion, creativity and commitment.

And November is also all about health: under the motto Movember, this time we are focusing on men's health - with new campaigns, discussions and initiatives. Because prevention and education concern us all. 💗💙
