The motivation is not financially driven , it ’ s much more about environmental and social responsibility .”
Stakeholder commitment
This collective desire to embrace new ways of working is testament to Buzzi ’ s corporate culture . “ When you are scattered in different parts of the world ,” continues Massimo , “ you need to allow for differences in cultural histories and habits . That said , we do have common policies , for example , for safety , sustainability , and code of conduct . Our managers have these three common pillars to bolster the organization ’ s progression and ensure we are moving in the same
direction . At Buzzi , we are committed to promoting sustainability in all the countries in which we operate , which is a commonality that we are very proud to share .”
“ The Alamo plant has been part of the Buzzi family since the 80s ,” elaborates Kirk . “ The family spent a substantial amount of time here for both education and work purposes . In fact , the Italian culture marries well with that of South Texas , and while we are a multinational , public company , we do feel like we work for that family . The business is not simply focused on its shareholders , it considers all stakeholders . The unemployment level in Texas is low , so , people have choices . Our positive company culture is reflected by the number of people who have dedicated their entire lives to working for the Buzzi family .”
