In celebration of World Cleanup Day, which takes place annually on September 20, and as part of its ongoing environmental efforts, Orange Jordan engaged 32 of the company’s employees in a special “Green Day” in Ishtafina, Ajloun. This activity was conducted in partnership with Ahel al-Balad initiative, which promotes positive behaviors to foster a cohesive and advanced society.
The primary focus of Orange Jordan’s initiative was to raise awareness about the importance of environmental preservation for a better quality of life. The team participated in a cleanup activity at the Ishtafina forest in Ajloun. Following this effort, they ventured to Ajloun Forest Reserve, where they took part in an hour-long hike along the Roe Deer Trail. These efforts align with the global “Make Room for Life!” campaign launched by the Let’s Do It! organization, which aims to highlight alarming environmental statistics, including the production of 2 billion tons of solid waste globally, projected to increase of 70% by 2050 if no serious action is taken. These figures emphasize the urgent need to address environmental challenges in pursuit of a greener, more sustainable planet.
Over the past years, Orange Jordan has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the environment by taking proactive steps and implementing various initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of carbon emissions. The company has also renewed its commitment to this cause by encouraging employees to participate in the “Engage for Change” program, launched by Orange Middle East and Africa, which seeks to strengthen employee engagement in the company’s corporate social responsibility initiatives.
It’s worth noting that Orange Jordan continuously provides its employees with opportunities to participate in environmental activities and initiatives. This commitment was recently exemplified by the inauguration of its third forest in Mahis, named the “Independence Forest by Orange”, under the patronage of the Ministry of Agriculture as part of the National Afforestation Project. Employees contributed to this initiative by planting 500 trees.
