OPERATION CLEAN BEACHES

For the fourth year in a row Pirelli Venezuela takes part in “World Beach Day”

San Esteban National Park, state of Carabobo, Patanemo bay, Venezuela. This is where Pirelli celebrated the day dedicated to the care and protection of beaches, organised by the Department of Safety and the Environment. Gustavo Naked, LatAm HSE manager, and Rafael Schio from Gravataí (Brazil) both made important contributions in promoting this event.

Sixty colleagues took part, collecting 1.2 tonnes of rubbish, including metal, glass and plastic waste. This was then sent to specialised waste-processing plants, with complete respect for health and hygiene. This experience, certainly a change from the standard working day, gave our colleagues first-hand experience of just how important it is to safeguard the future health and well-being of the country’s natural heritage, with the goal of increasing environmental awareness.
