Two Central Coast companies got down to business on February 25 as they participated in Business Clean Up Australia Day, ahead of Clean Up Australia Day on March 1.
Employees from Baiada’s Peats Ridge Farm and Cleanaway’s Somersby Depot volunteered their time to clean up the local environment
Clean Up Australia Chairman, Pip Kiernan, said that with this year marking the 30th anniversary of Clean Up Australia, businesses were being asked to step up.
“We want businesses to think about the positive changes they can make for the environment every day, whether that’s recycling toner cartridges, using packaging with recycled content or reviewing procurement policies, every small change helps,” he said.
“With the current bushfire crisis impacting a great number of communities and businesses nationally, we’ve seen an increase in Australian organisations looking for constructive ways to support our environment.
“Clean Up Australia Day provides businesses with an opportunity to support their local community, increase team cohesion and commit to corporate social responsibility, all while helping to deliver lasting environmental change during a time where it is more important than ever.
