Happy Earth Week!
April 2021
As Sustainability Activators, we share a common appreciation for our Earth and we’re acting together to make a difference in this decisive decade in order to mitigate the long-term effects of climate change. During Earth week we are encouraging our employees to participate in green activities to celebrate Earth Day 2021 on April 22nd via our Earth Restoration BINGO, an interactive game which will run over the official Earth Week period from Friday 16 April – Monday 26 April.
Effective Climate Action requires a combination of education, personal behavioural shifts and practical action, therefore we have designed our BINGO card activities to reflect this multi-layered approach.
