with participation from around the globe, this initiative focused on sustainable practices that can be incorporated into every day life.
“red goes green” campaign
Sustainability is a global effort, and at Aalberts integrated piping systems, we’re leading the way by empowering our people to take meaningful action—together.
This year, we created a sustainability challenge to learn more about the incredible impact that our people are already making, and the results are inspiring. Our 2024 “red goes green” sustainability challenge was a 10-day, company-wide challenge to see how many sustainable practices can be completed within that timeframe.
At the conclusion of the challenge, a survey was sent to all employees to help collect information about which practices they participated or engaged in.
Our mission for a sustainable future does not end with this challenge. Small steps lead to a big impact, and together, we are building a greener future.
Sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s our way forward.
