TotalEnergies Zimbabwe Clean-Up Day: Making a Difference Together
On 23rd August, our company held its annual Clean-Up Day, bringing together employees from various departments to enhance our community and environment. This initiative not only promotes teamwork but also reinforces our commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility.
The primary goals of Clean-Up Day included:
1. Environmental Stewardship: To actively participate in the preservation of our local environment by removing litter and debris.
2. Team Building: To foster camaraderie and collaboration among staff members and station staff through a shared goal.
3. Community Engagement: To strengthen our relationship with the local community

The day began with a brief orientation, emphasizing safety and the objective of our day. Employees were provided with gloves, trash bags, and safety gear, ready to tackle the task at hand. Teams dispersed to their designated areas, working diligently to clear litter while enjoying the camaraderie of their colleagues. After the clean-up day that took over 3-4hrs, staff were served lunch.
