She said: “It extends to giving employees the chance to host activities that help bring our ideals into the communities in which we operate, making an even greater impact. Our Earth Day 2019 programmes are a great representation of employees’ commitment to making the world a better place.”
CooperVision’s site in Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico recently hosted 300 high school students to promote a career in science while emphasising sustainable practices. The event included creating on-site chemistry, biology and environmental science laboratories, plus a manufacturing tour.
