PZ Cussons Exemplifies Commitment to Sustainable Development, Environmental Protection
In line with its commitment to sustainable initiatives, investing in the wellbeing of people, families and the community at large, PZ Cussons, makers and distributors of quality consumer products and home appliances, organized a 1-day sustainability exercise.
The exercise involved the clean-up of its host community in the Ilupeju area of Lagos state recently.
The initiative, powered by PZ Cusson’s flagship brand, Morning Fresh (Nigeria’s No 1 bestselling dishwashing liquid), was organized to foster a cleaner environment by reducing plastic pollution and encouraging recycling across Africa
During the ceremony at PZ Headquarters in Lagos, Oghale Elueni, Managing Director Africa, PZ Cussons, stated, “For over 120 years, PZ has existed in Nigeria and we stand for the social, economic, and human elements of the environment. We conduct our business sustainably to meet the needs of the current generation, while ensuring that we’re leaving a better planet and society for those who are to come.”
Participants of the clean-up exercise included the PZ leadership team, joined by the charismatic Influencer, Oluwabukunmi Adeaga-Ilori otherwise known as Kiekie, as well as other members of staff, including locals and residents of the community.
The cleaning exercise saw the team pick up as many non-biodegradable wastes as possible, such as plastic bags and bottles, tetra packs etc.
The sustainability activity included participants rewards for the greatest number of plastic wastes gathered during the cleaning exercise. Participants commended the organisers and particularly Morning Fresh for its commitment to tackling environmental pollution and increasing social awareness of the Nigerian public on the benefits of a healthy, sustainable environment.
