Did you know the UK faces a staggering waste problem, with London boroughs alone disposing of 751,000 tons of junk in landfills yearly? That’s the equivalent of 75 Eiffel Towers being discarded annually.
How CAN YOUR company makE a difference
Your organization can join Eco Around for an impactful corporate volunteering opportunity. Specifically, we support London-based companies to clean up around their offices and, consequently, help create a positive impact through volunteering in their community. Indeed, everyone has the power to make an environmental difference, so let’s start together.
BENEFITS OF CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING
Participate in corporate volunteering litter picking to enhance
team bonding and nurture employee wellbeing.
Litter picking is not just physical activity, it promotes
mindfulness, reducing stress and increasing a sense of
satisfaction by doing something tangible for the community.
Employees experience gratitude and pride in contributing
positively to their local environment.
By encouraging employee volunteerism and organising community service activities, you can significantly contribute to your company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals. In essence, CSR involves businesses taking responsibility for their impact on society and the environment. Therefore, companies can achieve their CSR goals through a variety of activities that align with their values, business operations, and community needs.
Your participation directly funds Eco Around’s monthly community litter pick events.Profits from corporate volunteering help launch new local litter-picking groups across London, expanding positive impact and community engagement. Together, we build a cleaner, greener city while empowering local volunteers and strengthening corporate-community partnerships.
For corporate teams seeking meaningful team-building experiences, Eco Around offers engaging corporate volunteering litter-picking events for groups of up to 30 people.
These take place in London boroughs near your company’s office or any location you prefer. The event starts with a brief introduction covering the waste and recycling challenges London faces, practical tips on how to reduce waste, and a safety briefing. This is followed by a two-hour litter pick.
Depending on numbers, participants are usually divided into two teams, sparking a friendly competition to see which group collects the most litter.
At the end, we weigh the collected waste to measure the collective impact. To add fun, a small eco-prize is awarded to the person who finds the most unusual or interesting piece of litter.
Make a difference, together. Join us at Eco Around to create a lasting impact through volunteering and community engagement.
