At WORLD CLEANUP DAY, our production colleagues in Izegem (Belgium) are organising their yearly plogging event on-site. With this event, they also support our Sustainability goal: PROTECTING NATURE.

Gregory Decottenier, OpEx Manager in Izegem, organises this event: "In response to World Cleanup Day, we are excited to organise our annual clean-up action around the factory in Izegem. This event gives us a great opportunity to make a positive impact on our environment and contribute to a cleaner and healthier planet. I want to thank all participants in joining the event. Teamwork made this once again a memorable and impactful experience for everyone involved!"

Last year, 29 associates joined forces to return with 28 filled trash bags and 140 kilos of collected litter. 

World Cleanup Day unites millions of volunteers, governments and organizations, in 197 countries and territories, to tackle the global mismanaged waste crisis and to help create a new, more sustainable world.
