International Jokey Clean Up Day: Jokey Group employees are committed to protecting the environment and nature.
In April 2023, employees from a total of 14 Jokey plants took part in the group-wide Jokey Clean Up Day. The initiative of Jokey employees is an example of sustainability in action at Jokey production sites and one of the operational goals for 2023.
More than ten million tonnes of waste enter the oceans every year. Most of it is carried from land into the seas via rivers. Each of us can make a contribution to combating this environmental pollution.
With Jokey Clean Up Day, we start by cleaning up our own doorstep, clearing rubbish and debris from the factory premises and the surrounding area. In 2019, employees launched the “Jokey Eco4us” initiative. The volunteer teams have set themselves the task of taking a holistic approach to sustainability issues such as environmental and resource protection. The employees develop creative ideas on how sustainability can be further expanded and implemented at their own workplace and at all Jokey locations throughout the group.
An important aspect of this commitment is to make these activities visible outside the factory gates as well, in order to raise awareness among fellow citizens in the regions of Jokey’s various locations for environmental and nature conservation and, ideally, to encourage them to follow suit.
The Jokey Clean Up Day is one such campaign: because rubbish does not belong in nature! Through waste separation and recycling, valuable secondary raw materials can be obtained and resources conserved. This also makes Jokey Clean Up Day a suitable opportunity to make our colleagues aware of the goals of the Jokey Eco Concept and, for example, our commitment to a circular economy. By clearing the area around Jokey Werke of rubbish, we are sending a visible signal for a responsible approach to our environment.
The Jokey Group is committed to taking responsibility and puts sustainability at the centre of its daily activities. With the group-wide Clean Up Day, Jokey is fulfilling one of its operational goals for 2023 by creating awareness of waste avoidance and recycling among its employees and in society. In April, all 14 plastic production plants worldwide took part. We are proud of this voluntary effort and thank our employees and their families for their exemplary commitment.
