Delta Hoofddorp proudly partnered with Amsterdam-based organization Plastic Whale for a canal cleanup event on July 11th, marking its second consecutive year of participation in this vital environmental initiative. The collaboration underscores Delta’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship in the EMEA region.

The day began with a spirit of collaboration and learning. Delta colleagues engaged in meaningful discussions with the Plastic Whale team, gaining insights into the organization’s mission to combat plastic pollution in Amsterdam’s waterways. The teams also aligned on specific goals for the day’s cleanup efforts.

With guidance from experienced skippers, Delta teams learned about the critical importance of recycling and how plastic pollution impacts Amsterdam’s waterways. Armed with this knowledge and a shared purpose, the group split into teams and embarked on a 2.5-hour cleanup mission aboard designated boats.

The cleanup effort featured two engaging challenges: collecting the most trash and identifying the most unusual find. These friendly competitions added an element of fun while motivating participants.  Two distinguished teams emerged as the champions of this friendly competition, showcasing the exceptional commitment of our collective efforts.






Over the course of the cleanup, the teams removed significant amounts of waste from the canals, including: 


• 3 Green Bags of PET Bottles

• 2 Yellow Bags of Cans

• 5 Garbage Bags of General Waste

• 4 Garbage Bags of other Plastics

• 12 Pieces of Glass

• Even a Scooter Helmet

 
These efforts directly contribute to the health of Amsterdam’s waterways and reinforce Delta’s role as a responsible citizen.

Delta Electronics EMEA maintains its unwavering commitment to corporate social responsibility, persisting in spearheading initiatives aimed at creating a positive and enduring impact in the communities we serve.
