Following the successful launch and implementation of the internal waste management initiative, World Aviation Group (WAG) launched the “Greener Living Project” last week. This is a project aimed at making WAG carbon neutral by encouraging employees to undertake various initiatives to reduce their carbon footprint consistently. On Saturday 8th November, the first initiative was launched to kick-off the project. Most of WAG employees and senior management in collaboration with the Ministry for Resources and Rural Affairs and the Mayor of Santa Lucia, participated in a clean-up and tree planting activity at the outskirts of Santa Lucia. Parallel to this initiative, an energy saving campaign was launched where some tips on how to save energy were shared with all the employees whilst revealing various initiatives that WAG is planning to undertake in the coming months such as the installation of photo-voltaic panels for energy generation. Mr. Dominic Attard, the Chief Executive Officer commented on the project: “Our commitment is to instill awareness towards a better environment. We can all play a part in reducing our carbon footprint at work. Raising awareness through events is a great way of getting everyone within our organization to play their part and champion change” WAG is committed to be at the forefront in the local community by endorsing a strong corporate responsibility to the community environment. “A little effort makes a big difference” is the main message leading these environmental initiatives.
