Gallagher Bassett Australia has celebrated the first year of its national partnership with Foodbank Australia, with cumulative volunteering efforts resulting in more than 100,000 meals packed for those facing food insecurity across Australia.
GB Australia’s leadership team partnered with representatives from icare at an anniversary packing event last week to achieve this goal.
Lionel Charmetant, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO – Personal Injury of GB Australia, commented on the importance of the collaboration between GB and icare during this session.
“Our shared commitment to supporting people and building stronger communities came to life during the recent volunteering session,” said Lionel.
“Working hand in hand multiplies our impact and reinforces our belief that, together, we can create positive change for those facing food insecurity. With the help of icare, we packed GB’s 100,000th meal for Foodbank. Achieving this target together was a very special moment.”
Commenting on the milestone, Pete Nicholson, Chief Executive Officer of GB Australia, shared, “At Gallagher Bassett, our purpose has always been clear: to help people, clients, and communities thrive. Our partnership with Foodbank aligns closely to the core of our company and culture,” said Pete.
“I am incredibly proud of our people for embracing this partnership wholeheartedly. In just a year, more than 130 employees have volunteered their time to this cause, and their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Our growing waitlist for volunteering sessions makes it clear that this is a cause that truly resonates with our people.”
