Elcoteq Commemorated the World Environment Day
The World Environment Day was commemorated in Elcoteq locations globally on June 5, 2008. Since climate change is becoming the defining issue of our era, the slogan this year was Kick the Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economy. Also Elcoteq SE’s Corporate Responsibility Report was published on the same day in digital format.
Lots of activities were arranged that day since Elcoteq wants to be a leading player in the area of corporate responsibility, and environmental issues are taken into account in all operations of the company.
In the group office Espoo, Finland, the whole day was devoted to the World Environment Day, and also some companies and stakeholders known as ethical and environment friendly participated in the event by providing fair trade products or support in other ways. For example Nokia established a recycling point for old Nokia cell phones. From each collected phone, two Euros were given to the ‘Save the Baltic Sea’ campaign.
Also Elcoteq’s other locations were active on the World Environment Day.
The plant in Pécs, Hungary, organized a drawing competition for all the children of the employees under the age of 14 years. The winner of the competition was a 9 year-old boy who is now rejoicing of his brand new bicycle!
In Romania, in the Arad plant, employees planted trees. Each department was responsible for their own planted tree and the name of the campaign was ‘Each tree is another change!’
In the plant in Tallinn, Estonia, a presentation about consuming habits was running for five days. The purpose of the day was to highlight resources and initiatives that promote low carbon economies and life-styles, such as improved energy efficiency, alternative energy sources, forest conservation and eco-friendly consumption. Taking care of the environment is a major value in Elcoteq, and it is cultivated not only on the World Environment Day but in every day actions.
