Sanderson gets involved with World Clean Up Day 2024

Today is World Clean Up Day (Friday 20^th September) and yesterday the Sanderson team rolled up their sleeves and once again got involved with World Clean Up Day in association with our longstanding client Northumbrian Water.

What is World Clean Up Day?

World Clean Up Day is a global event recognised in the UN Calendar of International Days and aims to bring people together from all sectors and nations to catalyse and drive lasting societal and sustainable change around waste-management processes.

As the movement strives towards a healthier and waste-free world, there have been fantastic results. Since 2018 there have been 211 countries get involved and engage 91million participants (this is equal to 1.13% of the world’s entire global population!) and have seen 543,704 tons of mismanaged waste be removed from our environment.

How did Sanderson get involved?

Sanderson first heard about the important impact of World Clean Up Day from our client Northumbrian Water at their yearly Innovation Festival and collaboration with The Skill Mill, the UK promoter of World Clean Up Day.

With the environment being something that extremely important to Sanderson as one of our Three Core Pillars of being a responsible business and a cause that is close to the heart of all in our CSR Team.

Speaking to Karen Brabin, Account Director in our Manchester office and key CSR member, she commented:

“World Clean Up Day was a no brainer to get involved in. Each year we aim to bring together all our offices throughout the UK and overseas to participate in this great cause, and allow us to do something within the communities we all live in.”

What is Sanderson doing for World Clean Up Day 2024?

The Sanderson team is once again taking to the streets to get involved in the Day.

With people from our office at Bristol HQ, through to our regional offices such as Manchester, and colleagues in our Noida office in India gathered as volunteers this week and headed out in our communities to litter pick and do all we can to ensure our roads, streets and communities are as clean as they should be.
