On Friday 21 April, our team at Applus+ in Australia celebrated Earth Day 2023. As part of Earth Day celebrations, a team of volunteers cleaned up waste from a local nature reserve near our Perth (Bibra Lake) head office.
Various items of waste were found which included plastic bottles, glass bottles, aluminum cans, oil filters, oil in bottles, a hair dryer, clothes, and many other plastic packaging items. In total our volunteers filled 3 large (65L) bags of waste which was brought back to our office and disposed of in the correct manner.
During the clean-up, our volunteers covered a 3km stretch of nature reserve and along the way saw many wildflowers and animals including birds, frogs, a snake, and a lizard. The nature walks also resulted in number of physical benefits with some low impact exercise and sense accomplishment by “protecting our environment” we live in.
Lunch for was prepared for our people which included environmentally sustainable food options of baked potatoes and 3 bean chili con carne and organically grown herbs as well as some other options.
Everyone had an opportunity to provide their ideas on how Applus+ can improve our environmental sustainability through our online ideas submission process. All ideas received automatic submission go into our Reward and Recognition nominations.
A great day and import reason to celebrate.
