Dukat on a Green mission

On 21 April, Dukat's employees joined the national environmental clean-up action called "Green Cleanup - one day for a clean environment". Instead of drinking coffee in the town centre, Dukat's employees headed to Zagreb neighbourhood Dugave, whose inhabitants are faced with daily accumulation of improperly disposed waste.

Diligent hands of Dukat's employees collected and sorted 36 m3 of bulky waste that was taken away to waste collection points and legal waste disposal sites on the same day. Dukat's employees pointed out that they support individual contribution to greener and cleaner Croatia and believe that their efforts will inspire employees of many other companies to join the green initiatives.

At the end of last year Dukat launched its own ecological project called Dukat Green Zone, whose aim is to support and raise awareness of its employees, suppliers, partners and general public of the importance of responsible environmental behaviour. Therefore, it is no wonder that Dukat's employees have demonstrated a high level of environmental awareness and joined the action in great numbers.  

"Green Cleanup - one day for a clean environment" is organized for the first time in Croatia by the non-profit organization Žmergo from Opatija and it has gathered the largest number of volunteers ever in a common environmental cleaning action.

The action is conducted as a part of the project World Cleanup 2012 and global initiative Let's Do It! Currently, there are 82 countries from all over the world participating in the project, Croatia being one of them.
