We love quiz time – especially for a good cause! 🤓🧠 And in our recent Sustainability Week, colleagues worldwide succeeded in unlocking a significant donation to The Ocean Cleanup organization, courtesy of the KARL STORZ Stiftung! Did you know that The Ocean Cleanup is leading the charge against plastic pollution in our oceans? Their innovative technologies and large-scale cleanup efforts are making a real difference in restoring marine ecosystems and protecting marine life. Throughout our first global Sustainability Week, we engaged in various activities to deepen our understanding of sustainability and our company’s role in protecting the environment. The overwhelming number of correct quiz answers we received triggered the donation. Check out pictures from The Ocean Cleanup showing their work in the gallery and learn more about their inspiring mission here: https://lnkd.in/eV6CXyc Let’s continue to drive positive change and protect our oceans. 🌊💙 Are you involved in any clean-up projects?

🌍♻️🚮🌱 CubeMatch Group Earth Month Challenge 2024 🌍♻️🚮🌱 For the 4th edition of the challenge, our participants from across our six locations joined hands to reduce their environmental impact. The challenge theme was “Planet vs Plastic”, a theme designed to raise awareness about plastic waste and its impact on the environment and human health. At CubeMatch we always encourage our employees to take part in ESG initiatives and we love to see how involved they get, starting brand new habits or improving existing practices. Well done to all our participants for their amazing efforts and commitment! Thanks to them we have broken a new record in participation and donations! This year the money raised will go to Greenpeace, an international organisation dedicated to preserving endangered species, preventing environmental abuses, and heightening environmental awareness through peaceful protests and creative confrontations with polluting corporations and governmental authorities. This really shows that even “a little goes a long way” and that we can all do our part and contribute to the protection of our environment and our planet! At CubeMatch, we strongly believe that sustainable practices are not just a responsibility but also a pathway to success. We are committed not only to embedding ESG at the heart of our business, but also to help our clients drive forward the sustainability agenda. ➡️To learn more: https://lnkd.in/dYp58Rag #environment #climatchange #ESG #plasticpollution #saveourplanet #poweringchange

It’s Earth Day today, and with it, we are reminded of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, encouraging us to come together and take action for a brighter future for our planet. The theme for Earth Day 2024 is the Planet vs. Plastics. Plastic pollution is a global crisis requiring urgent action, and the EARTHDAY.ORG is calling for a 60% reduction in the production of ALL plastics by 2040. Did you know that trillions of pieces of plastic pollute our oceans today, and the problem is worsening? One area where Boliden is contributing to sustainable development and a better world that aligns with the Earth Day theme this year is through our charity foundation Bcause in our supporting The Ocean Cleanup since 2017, a non-profit environmental organization that develops technology for removing plastic waste from the oceans and capturing trash in rivers before it reaches the ocean.

Footprint. Handprint. Heartprint. So many solutions for each one of us to grab to play a role as a sherpa for our future: cut down on our plastic pollution, mindful use of water to reduce waste, heal soil and reduce methane through composting, advocate at our businesses and workplaces to adopt more sustainable practices, vote for climate champions and invite your family and friends to do the same. #EarthDay2024 is more than one day. It's all of our days. P.S. Climate focused nonprofits can now register for the only US-wide giving day to boost environmental giving beyond 2% and engage more people in our work.

Happy Earth Day: Taking a look at our Planet Since its founding in the 1970s, April 22nd has served as a crucial moment for companies and their leaders to assess their environmental impact and take steps to protect our planet’s future. If you’re still searching for ways to contribute, there’s an initiative to match every sustainability goal. For instance, EARTHDAY.ORG is championing the “Planet vs. Plastics” campaign, aiming for a 60% reduction in plastic production by 2024. The World Wildlife Fund provides actionable advice with “60 Actions for the Planet” and encourages companies to dedicate an hour to environmental service. Additionally, many organizations are promoting sustainable transportation, with Earth Day Canada advocating for a “leg day” and NYC hosting its largest Open Streets event. If these efforts don’t resonate, EARTHDAY.ORG’s event tracker lists numerous local events, from clean-up drives to Earth Day festivals, showcasing the growing momentum of the global sustainability movement. Corporate philanthropy and sustainability efforts are also expanding, with initiatives like Pledge 1% directing substantial funds towards climate action. What will you do today to invest in our planet? #happyearthday #earthday2024 #investinourplanet
