This September, Bertling teams around the world joined forces for World Cleanup Day, making a real difference for the environment. From colleagues taking individual initiatives while on vacation to organized group efforts, everyone contributed to a cleaner planet. In the US, our Miami and Houston offices combined a sunny clean-up with a group walk around the office, finishing the day with smiles and pizza.
In Dubai, colleagues teamed up with Emirates Environmental Group to clean the desert, even spotting some wild desert melons along the way. In Singapore and Batam, volunteers joined an event hosted by Free the Sea, collecting approximately 300 kg of plastic waste and 350 kg of general waste while learning about the impact of plastic pollution on oceans. In Sweden, colleagues participated in a multi-week clean-up, collecting waste across office surroundings and local areas, celebrating their efforts together.
In Lima, the team took to Makaha Beach for a joint clean-up, while in Istanbul colleagues focused on cleaning city streets. In Bogotá, waste was carefully collected and sorted at a nearby park. Meanwhile, Bremen and Middlesbrough teams organized clean-ups in city areas, combining environmental action with fun and teamwork.
From beaches to city streets, deserts to office surroundings, these efforts – including individual initiatives and our collaboration with Emirates Environmental Group and Free the Sea - show that together we can make a meaningful impact on our planet.
