Allianz Malaysia with its cleanup team in Bagan Lalang, Sepang.
EMPLOYEES of Allianz Malaysia Bhd from nationwide branches collected 1,000.36kg of waste in World Cleanup Day activities.
The initiative was held in conjunction with Allianz Charity Day, an effort by Allianz Malaysia to promote volunteerism among employees.
For World Cleanup Day, employees organised several activities ranging from beach cleanups in Port Dickson’s Pantai Tanjung Tuan in Negri Sembilan to park cleanups in Taman Rekreasi Sultan Abdul Aziz (Padang Polo) in Ipoh, Perak.
Some 460 employees from 24 departments and branches collectively spent 1,768 hours on the volunteer events.
Employees from its Kuala Terengganu branch collected and disposed of the most waste, amounting to 150kg.
Head of Allianz4Good, Ng Siew Gek, said Allianz Malaysia was delighted to be a part of World Cleanup Day this year to tackle the global waste crisis.
“At Allianz Malaysia, we are always mindful of the impact we create for future generations.
“We are proud of our employees who are aware of efforts needed to manage the waste crisis and go out of their way to organise their own cleanup activities,” said Ng.
Last year, Allianz Malaysia organised a digital cleanup where the company reminded its employees to be mindful of digital waste and dispose of non-essential emails, documents and pictures, among others.
