Riccardo Previdi

Biography

(Milan, 1974) He studied architecture and visual arts. This dual education brought him to take interest in the relationship between art and design. Since 2006 the artist has been collaborating with the gallery Francesca Minini in Milano. He exhibited at the first Biennal in Moscow, at Manifesta 7, at the first Trienniale of Torino, at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, at MARTa of Herford, at De Vleeshal of Middelburg and at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York, at Villa Croce in Genova and at Museion in Bolzano, just to name some. From 2001 to 2016 he has been living in Berlin, where he has realized the Green Pavillion, a temporary exhibition facility in which coexist personal and common exhibitions. Since 2016 he lives in Merano, in Alto Adige. In 2018 he begins to teach contemporary art at the Design and Arts division of the Bolzano University.

Riccardo Previdi’s artistic research wonders about the possibilities and the limits of the techonolgical/scientific thought by laying bare the complex mechanisms that are hidden behind the objects and the images that surround us in our everyday life. Recording, sometimes amplifying, the exceeding images and the shapes produced by our society, Riccardo Previdi’s work calls into question the promises of progress and of social redemption that are made by the modernity

“Having the possibility to work with Giovanardi is a great privilege. Having the chance to interact with people that don’t open their eyes wide when I describe to them what I would like to realize but that already have in their mind possible solutions, makes the productive phase a very uplifting experience.”

To consider our Suppliers as partners, rather than mere suppliers of work performance and materials, in order to share with them (rather than impose) our needs and expectations, indeed the expectations of our Customers

The Management of Giovanardi S.p.A. believes that a responsible economic strategy, oriented to the environmental issues arising from its activities, is essential for the success of the business.

The General Management, on the basis of the information obtainable from the preliminary environmental analysis, establishes the priorities and general guidelines, taking into account the following elements:

The mission and core values of the company;
The commitment to continuous improvement;
Requests from interested parties;
The commitment to pollution prevention;
The coordination with the other policies of the organization
Compliance with legislative requirements and other standards that the company respects
Specific regional or local conditions

This environmental policy is relevant to all levels of the Giovanardi S.p.A. organization, and has been communicated and disseminated to the entire staff.

The document is also available to the public by the exposition at the entrance of the company and by means of paper or electronic dissemination.

The policy is subject to periodic review in order to keep the Environmental Management System valid and effective in face of changes either internal or external to the organization or to ensure the commitment to continuous improvement.

Giovanardi S.p.A. is committed to minimizing, where technically possible and economically bearable, any negative impact of its activities on the environment.

Keep the ISO 14001 Environmental Managing System active and effective;

Giovanardi S.p.A. undertakes to minimize the level of safety risk associated with its activities.

The Management of Giovanardi S.p.A. defines the commitment of the company in setting its policy for Safety and Health at Work in consideration of the activities carried out.

The main goal is to make the workplace as safe as possible. To pursue this purpose, Giovanardi S.p.A. undertakes to comply with current legislation, but also to prevent accidents and occupational diseases by continuously improving performance with a view to a greater risk reduction.

The Safety Management System seeks the prevention and the correction of dangerous situations, through the implementation of the analysis of the causes and possible solutions in case of even potentially dangerous events.

Giovanardi S.p.A. therefore, not only disseminates this policy to all workers, but also makes them aware through training and information on Occupational Health and Safety and provides them with all the necessary resources. The same policy is also communicated to all those who, although not workers of Giovanardi S.p.A., happen to share the company spaces or work in the name o on behalf of Giovanardi S.p.A.

If the above represents the main goal, Giovanardi S.p.A. defines a series of specific safety objectives, considering the actual dangers, the performance data that allow safety control, the needs of all the figures involved in the System, the resources available and those considered essential and, finally, the personal and spontaneous contribution of all those who deem it appropriate to report.

These objectives are periodically subjected to verification and measurement, as well as a review.

All collaborators are therefore called upon to make their contribution, operating with full awareness of the importance of their role, in compliance with the duties and established procedures, so that the company can:

Operate in compliance with applicable laws on health and safety at work, maintaining a standard that is always higher than the required parameters;
Keep the ISO 45001 Management System active and effective;
Operate in compliance with the regulations on safety and adequacy of the work environment, to prevent the risk of accidents;
Engage in risk prevention activities, both for the activities carried out internally and for those entrusted externally;
Invest in staff training and education in order to increase their expertise and provide awareness of the influence that the work of the individual has on the risks related to their own safety and that of others;
Choose, where possible, technical solutions that reduce the level of risk
Continue to invest in plants and equipment to improve product quality and optimize production in order to contain costs and limit the risk of accidents;
Define safety-related objectives and targets, to be integrated with the operational management of the plants and company development programs;
Ensure that the workplace health and safety policy is understood, implemented and preserved at all levels of the organization and that the system is supported by periodic and systematic training and educational activities;
Always keep the security risk assessment up to date;
Interact with suppliers who operate on site and with suppliers in general in order to have control over their real level of application of safety management procedures and their full compliance with applicable legislation on workplace safety
