JOIN USOver 500 team members of Wells Fargo Enterprise Global Services — India participated in the third edition of the company’s annual ‘10K Walk/Run/Ride’ event recently. The participants promoted walking, running, and cycling as ‘greener’ and healthier commute options.
The event aimed at creating awareness of building a sustainable environment by reducing individual carbon footprints and propagate environmental awareness through everyday actions. It also reaffirmed the health and wellness benefits that go with walking, running and cycling.
“We are committed to a better environment. We endeavour to make a difference at our workplace as well as the community we live in, by continuing to create awareness about sustainable practices and follow them. The ‘10K Run/Walk/Ride’ is an example of this commitment,” Aveek Mukherjee, Managing Director, Wells Fargo India Solutions, said.
“We encourage our team members to participate in the EGS event as well as take part in running and riding events across the country,” he added.
The company has an active runners and riders community which boasts of more than 1,000 members.
Speaking at the event, Vishnupriya Saksena, Head of Corporate Sustainability, said, “We are committed to finding new ways to minimise energy consumption, use renewable sources of energy, and work towards influencing our communities to do the same. While the organization has successfully put into practice several ‘everyday’ green initiatives, volunteer teams continue to work to educate and create awareness about sustainable practices at work and life. Team members also participate in external initiatives that help the environment.”
The company also facilitates the ‘cycle to work’ initiative by allocating cycle parking zones in its facilities, which are built and operated by the credo of ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’.
