MONTREAL, Sept. 27,
2023 /CNW/ - Over the past weekend and in the coming
weeks, 350 Cogeco employees will set out to clean up trails and
shorelines in 17 communities as part of the annual 1Cogeco
Community Involvement Day. This initiative, now in its third year,
is an important component of Cogeco's ongoing commitment to
community engagement and sustainability practices that include
supporting our employees, our customers and the communities where
they live and use our services.
"The 1Cogeco Community Involvement Day is an integral part of
our sustainability strategy and supports our commitments centered
on reducing our environmental footprint and making a positive
impact on our communities. Moreover, this employee-led initiative
is an opportunity to gather as colleagues, along with our families,
to support local initiatives that are driving a more sustainable
future," said Philippe Jetté, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Cogeco.
As part of these cleanup efforts to rid the environment of waste
and plastic pollution, Cogeco is supporting 14 non-profit
organizations in areas served by the company, including PurNat,
Conservation Halton, Friends of Oleta River State Park, Columbus
Recreation and Parks Foundation and Aiken County Parks, Recreation
and Tourism. These organizations demonstrate a deep commitment to
environmental stewardship in our communities across Canada and the
United States.
