Clean Up Australia is calling on businesses, of all sizes to step up and register for this year’s Business Clean Up Day, on Tuesday 1st March.
Business Clean Up Day is a meaningful way for businesses to demonstrate leadership, while also actively supporting their communities and boosting team morale.
While businesses are adapting to flexible and remote working arrangements, there are plenty of opportunities for teams of any size across Australia to get involved.
This could include simple one-off clean up events, hosting competitive multi-site corporate challenges, or booking in for virtual team-building sessions to inspire and motivate employees to reduce their environmental impact.
Through participating in a Business Clean Up Day, businesses can deliver lasting change to their community in a time when the environment needs it most.
Clean Up Australia Chairman, Pip Kiernan, says it’s more important than ever to get involved with Clean Up Australia.
“Right now, our environment is experiencing the full force of the pandemic,” said Ms Kiernan.
“We’re seeing a huge surge in single-use plastics and unprecedented numbers of face masks, takeaway coffee cups and food packaging littering our footpaths, parks and beaches. There has been no better time for Australian businesses to step up to support our communities and environment.”
“Not only is Business Clean Up Day a powerful team-building activity but can be a springboard for businesses to make ongoing changes to benefit the environment by supporting solutions which move us towards a circular economy – where everything is a resource, and there is no such thing as waste.”
If you can’t join a Clean Up, Ms Kiernan urges businesses to make a donation to Clean Up Australia or consider joining the charity’s Workplace Giving Program, facilitating employees to make small, regular donations through their pre-tax pay.
100% of funds raised through donations are allocated to the provision of educational resources and clean up materials provided free of charge to community, school and youth groups across the nation, all year round.
