As the leader of meat sector in Poland, once again, Animex co-organized the picnic related to the World Cleanup Day and addressed to the children and teenagers from Kutno area.
The annual, educational event, combined with a number of attractions and contests for the young residents of Kutno and neighboring areas, whose leading theme was focused on the natural environment and its protection, took place on September 18th, 2022 in Suchodoły village. Representatives of Animex, apart from joint cleaning of the forests, also engaged children and teenagers in the water monitoring activities. During the event the company also provided the hot-dog truck “Berlinkowóz” which offered nutritious snacks for the young ecologists.
As a tradition, the educational campaigns related to the World Cleanup Day are joined by employees responsible for the environmental protection in our organization. Under voluntary work, they e.g. hold lectures and support the youth in performance of the assigned tasks – said Łukasz Dominiak, PR & GA Director at Animex.
