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.
During the ceremony at PZ Headquarters in Lagos, the Managing Director Africa, PZ Cussons, Oghale Elueni, 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.”
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 Category Head, Homecare, PZ Cussons, Abimbola Odimayo-Olabode, said, “Morning Fresh has been in Nigeria for over 30 years and is committed to caring for those who care, as such, we have extended this narrative to the environment. We get so much from nature so we need to take care of the environment as well.”
Head of Marketing, PZ Cussons, Kemi Longe, mentioned that the reward was designed to encourage the residents to put more effort into cleaning the environment.
“Through this initiative, we are confident that not only the Ilupeju community, but Nigeria as a whole, will be positively influenced and encouraged to care for the environment one plastic at a time,” she said.
