We are participating in World Cleanup Day for the first time this year. This international event will take place on September 15, 2018. The idea is to encourage as many people as possible to help clean up the planet during a single day.
One hundred and thirty countries are taking part in this year’s event. Seventeen million people have already joined the movement and picked up 500,000 metric tons of waste. At Bonduelle, 28 production sites have already participated in France, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Italy, Russia, Canada, and the United States.
We have been working to protect the environment for over ten years through our sustainable development initiative. As such, World Cleanup Day aligns with our values perfectly. Its unique and international scope also gives us the opportunity to ask all our employees to take part in a joint volunteer effort in all of our Business Units throughout the world.

The group behind the event, the Let’s Do It Foundation, is a global civic movement that works to connect and empower people and organizations throughout the world in order to clean up the planet. The goal of WORLD CLEANUP DAY is to focus everyone's energy on the same project and raise awareness about the issue of mismanaged waste. We want to “clean the planet in a single day.”
