Every year, the month of October is dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer. This cause is particularly close to our hearts because it affects so many women, families and colleagues. That’s why the Gazechim Group has decided to show its commitment with concrete, supportive actions.
A large number of employees took part in the Pink Walk that took place in Béziers on Sunday 5 October. The friendly, supportive event was organised by Bélise, an association that has been supporting breast cancer patients in the Béziers region for the past six years, and served as a reminder of the importance of prevention.
The Group’s involvement continued into Wednesday 22 October, with an awareness-raising workshop for all employees based in Béziers, and led by Dr Hélène Harmand-Icher, president and founder of the Bélise association. At the meeting, participants were able to learn the right preventive measures they could take, in a friendly environment, and practise checking their own breasts. At the end of the workshop, discussion session gave everyone a better understanding of the issues involved in screening.
