Earth Day is an annual event held on 22 April to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held in 1970, #EarthDay now sees more than one billion people in over 190 countries participating in a range of events to protect the Earth.
The theme for this year’s Earth Day is “Planet vs Plastics”. Single-use plastics are mostly unsuitable for recycling and not biodegradable. Over time, they accumulate in the environment and cause harm to natural ecosystems and human health.
At #REDEX, in addition to accelerating the world’s transition to clean and #renewable energy, we also strive to do our part in phasing out plastic use. In 2024, we rolled out three initiatives:
✔ Eliminated single-use plastic water bottles from meetings
✔ Eliminated single-use plastic cups use in our office by providing reusable ceramic mugs to employees
✔ Supported the elimination of single-use plastic bags by providing reusable cotton canvas tote bags at events
Check out our mugs and tote bags in the below image!

Every action counts and REDEX is excited to be part of the global sustainability movement to bring about #change for a greener and more sustainable Earth!
