Servi Doryl committed to the European Week for Sustainable Development
Introduction
We are proud to share with you our feedback on our participation in the European Week for Sustainable Development (ESDW), in Servi Doryl, in the company of ALPMA France and ALPMA Servi. From 18 September to 8 October 2024, we showcased our commitment to a more sustainable future. As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact and certified with the 2023 Ecovadis Gold Medal, we are determined to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Find out more about the actions we took during this ESDW.
What is European Sustainable Development Week?
It is an opportunity to promote the 17 sustainable development goals of the Agenda 2030 through concrete action. It is a unique opportunity for citizens, associations, businesses and institutions to take action in favour of sustainable development.
What is Servi Doryl doing for European Sustainable Development Week?
- Action 1 : Collection and donation of winter clothing
We organised a collection and donation of clothes among our employees, in order to promote second-hand clothing. Thus, more than 70 items were exchanged between colleagues. Clothes that did not find a second family (around 30 kg) within our 3 companies were donated to the Active association in Tours (Association Caritative Tourangelle d’Insertion par le vêtement).
- Action 2: The vegetarian picnic, aiming for 100% zero waste
Next, we organised a convivial moment to share a healthy and responsible meal, with 100% home-made products, respecting the zero waste objective. The meal was shared with colleagues from ALPMA France and ALPMA Servi. A large number of people joined in the fun, strengthening our cohesion and raising awareness of more sustainable food alternatives.
- Action 3: The Sustainable Development Goals race
A solidarity race was held at Langeais lake to support sustainable development objectives, but also to support two associations: the Maternelle et Elémentaire de Langeais (CMEL) collective, and the ImagineForMargo association, which is working to combat childhood cancer. In all, 122.5 km were covered (in the rain and clouds), with total donations of €315. More, the employees’ donations were matched by Servi Doryl and ALPMA France.
- Action 4: Soft mobility day
The aim of the day was for employees to cycle, scooter, walk or carpool to work. In total, 254 km were avoided. This is the second year running that this initiative has enabled employees to think about their mobility and consider alternatives. More, an electric bike was also made available for employees to try out.
- Action 5 : eco-gesture posters
Finally, during the week, we ran a poster campaign on eco-gestures, giving simple advice on how to behave in an environmentally-friendly way on a daily basis. As a little bonus, our volunteer employees are the ‘stars’ of these posters !
During the 3 weeks of the event, the Sustainable Development Goals were displayed in the reception area of the company to promote them to all our visitors.
Conclusion
To conclude, these actions during the European Week for Sustainable Development in Servi Doryl have raised awareness among all our employees of the importance of a sustainable future. Several of them decided to take individual action to promote a healthier, more responsible environment.
In a spirit of good humour and a desire to move forward, everyone was able to get involved in the actions that were important to them.
These three weeks also encouraged joint actions between the three companies Servi Doryl, ALPMA France and ALPMA Servi. What’s more, three charities were able to receive aid thanks to these actions.
