We have been working on a company reorganization for some time. The goal was to allow senior employees to buy shares of the company, to motivate them, to retain them, to make them feel even more part of our growth strategy, to reward them for what they are doing and also to recognize part of the profits.

The administrative process to get to offer this opportunity lasted a year and led to review the company statute. An auditor and a statutory auditor have been appointed to ascertain the financial statements, so that they are even more controlled.

Arranged the cards, we welcomed Claudio Scura as a new partner of SHELTER. In reality, Claudio has always moved, since the beginning of our collaboration, as if he was a real partner, immediately taking care of the company.

“When they proposed me to join SHELTER, I had no doubt”, Claudio told us, “a group of people with a high human and technical skills that was being born and it going to cover an open market segment, guaranteeing the Client at the same time the professionalism of the major HSE multinationals and the flexibility typical of the small consultancy firms. The facts are supporting us: SHELTER has become a point of reference for Clients at national and international level who continue to trust in our collaborative approach, based on being always close to the Client and making their challenges our ones!”.

Claudio expresses what our company needs to grow:

• management of human relationships: he has always been respectful of all while requiring the maximum effort to achieve corporate and Client objectives;
• technical capacity: innovating in the services that the Clients asked for;
• commercial capacity: he was essential in identifying the RSK partner and in the negotiation that led us to acquire the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) project.

Claudio’s formal entry into the company structure was therefore a matter of course.

Welcome Claudio!

We feel we that have a responsibility to society and believe that it is our duty to contribute positively to the Community’s well-being of the community in which we belong.

Our social commitment activities regard both people and the environment:

• Helping the less fortunate: “SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGE” (SOS Children’s Villages) is a worldwide organization that was founded in Austria in 1949 and offers support to children who are without families to care for them and also those who are at risk of losing them. Each child is guaranteed the right to grow in a safe, healthy and welcoming family environment, thus giving them the opportunity to fully develop their potential. In 2012, through this association, we adopted a 13-year-old Ethiopian child at a distance, who was without a father and had been removed from his mother who wasn’t able to care of him due to   economic difficulties. Today, (2020) he is a smart and selfless man who is studying medicine at university.

• Flowerbed management: we received authorization from the City of Milan to requalify and maintain the flowerbeds located close to our office.

• Social studies: we contribute annually to support the Leone Moressa Foundation which deals with the study of immigration, multi-ethnic relations and the impact of migration policies, the preparation of an annual report, organizing events, seminars, debates, training courses and awareness raising aimed at improving conditions of social integration.

• Plastic free program and energy saving in the office:  In 2019, we   stopped using plastic drinking containers in our office and each one of our employees has been using their own personal thermal bottles. We reduced our energy consumption by 30% through the use of LED lighting systems and replaced our air conditioning system with one that is low energy. We also changed the air duct system, in order to optimize air distribution throughout the office.

• Public transport: Our office is situated in Milan, one of the most polluted cities in Europe. In order to help combat the problem of pollution, we adopted a corporate policy that discourages our employees from using their cars and encourages them to use public transport.

We founded SHELTER Srl in 2010, thanks to the idea of a group of colleagues who worked together at a multinational company in the HSE consultancy sector. Our ambition is to be able to create a company capable of being autonomous, flexible, meritocratic and sustainable in order to enter into the Italian and International markets as big players.

Today, we are a multidisciplinary team of professionals who help and support companies with passion and curiosity, stimulated by all of the activities that can be carried out in the fields of Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE).Le attività di impegno sociale in cui siamo concretamente attivi riguardano sia le persone sia l’ambiente:

We have created an organized, youthful and flexible company reality.

The professional growth of each one of our team members develops according to meritocracy while paying attention to the human side.

For us, each individual is important and makes a difference, resulting in everyone making a difference together.

Each member of our team feels involved, which keeps their level of motivation and commitment high.

Attention to people

Our staff has grown to include 20 members, while maintaining a personal, human focus.

The proof of this is evident in:

– the use of long-term contracts;

– a multi-year training program;

– an open environment where staff feels comfortable to express themselves and their needs and an attention to sustainable mobility by offering our employees annual passes for public transportation in order to reach the office.

The result is a loyal, happy staff which also results in a very low staff turnover.

Career Prospects

Being a consultant in SHELTER means working in an international context, travelling, speaking other languages and being in touch with very different cultures, including business ones.

We help to build vital infrastructures, developing projects, restoring landscapes and growing commercial activities, keeping sustainability in mind.

In conclusion, being one of our engineers, scientists, consultants and managers means being driven by a common purpose in delivering a better world.
