NEXERA Heroes
03-05-2020NEXERA Heroes is an initiative integrating company employees and mobilizing them to adopt a healthy lifestyle and at the same time supporting local communities in the Regions where our network is created.
The project started in September 2018. During the integration meeting, our teams built wooden kennels for dogs, which we then donated to charity organizations in the Łódzki Region.
The next year we were collecting waste around the Turquoise Lakes in Wapienniki. The crew was divided into small teams representing all #RegionyNEXERY. Equipped with step-counting devices, we set off into the field, competing not only to collect as many sacks of rubbish as possible, but also to walk as far as possible. We collected a total of 271 kg of waste!
In the third quarter of 2019, we slightly changed the assumptions of NEXERA Heroes. Since then, we have put more emphasis on the charity aspect, supporting local organizations and projects in the areas of education, sport, ecology and social initiatives. Now for every 1000 steps taken by the NEXERY team, the company donates 1 zloty to a selected charity organization.
18,947,889 - that is how many steps we made in the third quarter of 2019. They translated into PLN 18,948 donated to the Słoneczna Przystań Foundation from Busko Zdrój in the Świętokrzyski Region. The foundation deals with broadly understood education and prevention of cancer among children. In the following quarter, 15,927,811 steps made resulted in a transfer of PLN 15,928 to the Children's Friends Association in Sieradz.
The initiative has been continued in 2020. Due to the pandemic, we decided to allocate the amount for Q1 and Q2 to support under-funded social welfare homes, which are currently most exposed to the negative effects of coronavirus. Four DPSs, one from each of our Regions, received support for the purchase of protection products, such as masks, face shields, gloves and disinfectants. The total amount of support is PLN 40,000.
