The response from our employees to the campaigns and activities that we ran has been fantastic, everyone got involved and I think that we are all now better informed about our own health and what we A healthier Business for Fabricom GDF SUEZ Employees need to do to maintain good health.” Fabricom GDF Suez is continuing to build on the success of the bronze award and have already signed up to work towards the silver level of the scheme with the support of the How Healthy is Your Business Team.
