Innovation, Beauty, and Sustainability: the three pillars of the new antares headquarters

In an era where individual well-being and collective health are becoming increasingly central, IBSA Italy has embarked on a renovation journey of its Lodi headquarters with the antares project.

In this interview Daria Catellani, Head of Human Resources of IBSA Italy, highlights how a functional and stimulating environment is key to attracting and retaining talent.

From the earliest stages, antares was designed with a focus on comfort and functionality, incorporating innovative solutions to improve acoustics, lighting and furniture ergonomics. These spaces are designed to facilitate communication and networking, essential for a dynamic and inclusive work environment.

Marina Bassi underscores IBSA's commitment to sustainability, highlighting major investments in the transition to an all-electric company car fleet and the installation of twenty electric vehicle charging points, demonstrating a strong commitment to a greener future.

Three pillars of antares

antares is based on three fundamental pillars that reflect the company's holistic vision of well-being and respect for the environment: Innovation, Beauty, and Sustainability. These principles are not just guidelines for the renovation of the headquarters, but represent the embodiment of IBSA's values and its commitment to people, scientific progress, and the environment.

Innovation: Through approaches focused on the overall well-being and adapted to evolving and versatile working conditions, the space is designed to dynamically respond to contemporary work needs. Environments are optimized for functionality, with open spaces that increase accessory areas for support to daily functions by 40%, equipped with panels for sound insulation, and an advanced lighting system with LED lamps for reduced environmental impact.

Beauty: In the concept of the new headquarters, particular attention was paid to the harmony between aesthetics and practicality, privileging the well-being of those who work there. This philosophy is the guideline for the realization of IBSA's workspaces and offices, where design and comfort blend to create stimulating and welcoming environments.

Sustainability: The project is built on a key principle for IBSA: transforming what already exists to find better solutions. Through a complete overhaul of spaces, both interior and exterior, the structure emerges at the forefront of energy efficiency and environmental standards, marking a significant progress that reflects the company's evolution and growth over recent years.

The new IBSA Italy headquarters also represents an investment for the enhancement of the territory, with the creation of a hub for doctors, suppliers, professionals, and employees, offering an inclusive environment where everyone will find their own space and the resources they need. It ultimately symbolizes IBSA's commitment to being pioneers not only in the development of quality pharmaceutical solutions but also in creating a work environment that reflects the company's values of care, innovation, and respect for the environment and the people.
