THESolidarity Purchase Groups (GAS)they are a spontaneous grouping of people who organize themselves to make responsible purchases by interacting directly with producers in the name of saving but above all of ethical choice. It is based on a form of critical consumption, based onknowledge, thequalityof the product and of thetype of production, preferring organic farming products.

 

One of the objectives is that of sharing according to which the products are purchased and divided among the members of the group. The purchase oflarge quantitiesallows to receive particular economic treatments from producers, allowing GAS members to save. Furthermore, it is of fundamental importance to establish a relationship between the members of the GAS and the producer based on collaboration and mutual trust, and not on the exclusive exchange of goods / money. This aspect allows on the one hand a direct and transparent interaction, without the presence of intermediate figures that would lead to an increase in the costs of the products and on the other hand it gives the possibility to the producer to reinvest within his own company with the aim of improving further the standard of products already of the highest level, both in terms of quality, quantity and respect for consumers and the environment.

​

Thanks to their flexible and independent structure, the GAS offer an alternative purchasing system to that of the large-scale retail trade, based on the search for the best product, grown naturally and at the most competitive price.

 

Gas works very simply:

​

• A spokesperson for the group is appointed who will interact with us;

• Information relating to the products concerned is requested;

• The list of selected products is defined and communicated;

• The manufacturer undertakes to collect, select, package and ship the goods in the shortest possible time;

• The goods are received and divided among the group members.
