Within the framework of Fransabank’s Corporate Responsibility strategy and arcenciel’s environmental program, the “Bouchons Roulants†project was launched aiming at raising public awareness to the importance of recycling and the protection of the environment. This project contains a double objective: on one hand educate Fransabank’s employees on the importance of sorting and recycling trash from the source in order to preserve the environment, and on the other hand, to provide the bestowment of wheelchairs.Â
arcenciel sells the plastics collected to a recycling company in order to provide with that respective value, a wheelchair to a person with special needs.Â
Every 1 ton of recyclable plastic bottles and caps collected and sold endows arcenciel with a wheelchair.Â
Fransabank called its employees at the entire Bank’s Headquarters departments and Hamra main branch for the collection of plastic caps and bottles. The project started in March 2014 and up to the mid of December 2014, the one ton of recyclable plastics was reached.
In this aspect, a small gathering with arcenciel representatives and Fransabank’s management and employees was held on December 22, 2014 at Fransabank’s Headquarters, whereby two wheelchairs were donated on this occasion; one wheelchair resulting from Fransabank family efforts, and another one from the Bank’s management as an equal contribution to staff’s effort.
This project has resulted in very satisfying results and will continue for the coming years.
