2022, Come on !

“ January 1st 2022 is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Take the time to write a good one !”

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you say “new year”? Champagne, of course! Seriously, for most people it’s the famous word RESOLVE. Do you know the origin of this word that sometimes sounds very discouraging? Resolutions began with the Babylonians in ancient times. Their belief was that they had to promise their gods to pay back their debts and return the things they had borrowed, in order to set the record straight for the new year. Over time, the resolutions became more like taking more time with family, losing weight, changing careers, etc. Etc. 

So to continue in the fine Babylonian tradition, here are the ABP 2022 RESOLUTIONS: 

At CINCO, for the past two years, we have been committed to revaluing as many of our items as possible in order to refurbish them and sell or re-rent them during an event. In this vein, our 2022 resolution is to succeed in recovering/revaluing 50% of our output produced by our rental and sales activities. This is quite a challenge that we are ready to face… Because let’s face it, any responsible company concerned about preserving our environment for future generations cannot ignore it! The art of thinking further than the end of your nose!

CUATRO, become a hub to host the next generation of young people. AAHH the youth, as we often hear! The ones who will be asked what they are doing with their lives and have their cheeks pinched at countless Christmas parties! These young people, in addition to eating a lot of tourtière, are also going to be the next generation. What could be better than passionate and ambitious young people for the future of a healthy company! The art of propulsion.

TRES, become an increasingly inclusive company by increasing the number of foreign workers by 10%. We want to integrate workers from outside the country by recruiting a diverse workforce from abroad and implementing a transition plan to facilitate their integration into Quebec and our culture. What better way to get SUA COCHE potlucks! The art of being curious.

DOS, achieve parity within our teams. In 2021 we are proud to say that our teams are composed of 40% women. GIRLPOWER! By 2022 we would like our teams to be 50% female. We have learned something wonderful by having more women in our teams, it allows us to create a better balance between the importance of being in action and the importance of taking care of people. The art of balance.

UNO, the 35th anniversary of the ABP Group! This is not a small thing! As of May 2022, ABP will be 35 years old! We will almost be entitled to our FADOQ card! Slowly but surely this CEGEP project has become a force of nature and a must. We are proud to say that for our last resolution, we want to continue to accompany you, inspire you in all your projects while continuing to work as an important player in the event industry in Canada. We look forward to hearing your wild ideas for custom designs. We look forward to kissing you goodbye at a 5-7 (when allowed, of course!). Will you be with us to blow out…our 35 candles? Thanks to your trust and collaboration you allow us to become every bit as good!

ZERO, BONNE ANNÉE, HAPPY NEW YEAR, FELIZ AÑO Nuevo, BUON ANNO !
