Our initiatives spotlight
Diversity awarenessOn the back of an internal survey on how our employees feel about diversity and inclusion at work, we took some time out together to discuss the outcomes and to bring ideas to the table on how to tackle discrimination and stereotyping. |
An eco switchWe have reduced our every day plastic consumption by replacing our water bottles with reusable water bottles from Flaske for every employee. |
Collecting for those in needAs part of our fundraising drive on the run-up to the holidays, we are collecting for food banks in Spain, and for flood relief in Germany. |
Caps collectionOur Madrid office has signed up to collet bottle caps for the Seur Foundation, who recycle the caps to raise money for children with serious health problems. |
Movie night for awarenessDuring our pandemic lockdown, we got together virtually for a movie night. The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind raises awareness of energy poverty and kicked off a discussion about this topic. |
Beach clean-upThis was our first team ‘Weekend Strolls and Litter Patrol’ with the Valencian office. We collected a scary amount of plastic pieces, bottle caps and cigarette butts. |
Warmste week AuctionOur Belgian office got into the seasonal spirit for Warmste week with the topic this year of ´being able to be who you are´. Auction items included nail treatments, handmade toys and clothes, a photoshoot, homemade food... we raised an amazing €1000 for this charity.
|
Electric cars for the futureAs part of our mobility policy, we are switching our corporate petrol cars for electric ones. So far, Belgium is the first, with The Netherlands soon to follow. |
E&C advent calendarOur advent calendar has been an amazing success this year, promoting CSR topics such as wellness (team building and fitness), donations (both blood and money for charity), and diversity (this season is so much more than Christmas, with 25 days being celebrated across 16 countries at E&C). |
Fundraising successOur Melbourne office took part in Australia's STEPtember challenge to raise money to support people living with cerebral palsy. By the end of the month, the team walked over 900k steps. With individual donations being matched by E&C, they raised a total of AU$1042!
|
6.5km marathonOur Madrid team took part in ´Carrera de las empresas´ this year, a race that raises money for cancer research. |
Corporate e-bikesImproving our mobility options gets easier every year. We now have several e-bikes in our offices – contributing both to a greener world and happier, healthier employees. |
