Annual
Green Week of Volunteer Projects Promote Environmental Awareness
NEW YORK, Apr 20,
2015 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today, CA Technologies CA, +1.94% announced its continued commitment to sustainability by
hosting its eighth annual Green Week of employee volunteer activities around
the globe. The projects, in celebration of Earth Day,
will take place April 20 – April 24 and include beach and park clean-ups, tree
plantings, gardening, trail maintenance, landscape beautification and litter
removal.
Green Week projects are being held throughout the US in
locations including Atlanta, GA; Austin, TX; Ewing, NJ; Fort Collins, CO,
Framingham, MA; Islandia, NY; Lisle, IL; New York, NY; Plano, TX; Portsmouth,
NH; and internationally in Australia, the Czech Republic, China, France, India,
Italy, Japan, Singapore, Spain and the United Kingdom.
“CA’s Earth Day celebration has continued to grow since
its launch in 2008,” said Erica Christensen, vice president, Corporate Social
Responsibility, CA Technologies. “We applaud our colleagues around the world
who continue to give their time and talents through Green Week activities,
assisting their local communities and raising awareness about the environment.”
CA Technologies employees in more than 18 countries will
take time out of their work day to give back through company coordinated
events. Many of this year’s Green Week activities are being held with longtime
partners.
“We all benefit from the beauty and serenity of our
nation’s protected lands,” said Joseph Leissle, volunteer coordinator for the
Robert Moses State Park in Babylon, NY. “It’s an honor to be selected as a
benefactor of one of CA’s Green Week projects. CA employee volunteers will work
to control erosion and clear litter, and will hopefully inspire others to take
an interest in preserving our natural surroundings and caring about the
environment.”
“It’s exciting to see that a technology firm and an
environmental advocacy organization can have aligned goals to address issues
around waste reduction and greenhouse gas emissions,” said TJ Lemanski,
director of operations for Ecology Action in Austin, TX. “During CA’s Green
Week, we will give CA Technologies employees a first-hand look into the
recycling process and provide them a unique opportunity to work in material
processing. We believe that direct connection with waste and what happens after
materials are discarded builds a person’s propensity to recycle in their
everyday life.”
"On Earth Day, CA Technologies employees will get a
rare opportunity to step back in time and help protect ruins in the Roman
acropolis of Tivoli," said Giorgia Montesano, Property Manager of Parco
Villa Gregoriana, Fondo Ambiente Italiano's (FAI) property in Tivoli. Affiliated
with the International National Trust Organization, FAI oversees the protection
of the landscapes of Italy’s cultural assets.
