Help nature and have fun. Which type of environmental event will you choose?

Is it possible to organize a corporate eco-event in such a way that people not only do a socially useful deed but also have the opportunity to have fun and socialize in an informal setting?

Today, environmental issues are more relevant than ever and concern many people around the world. Survey your company’s employees: surely they all want to live in a clean city with plenty of greenery and no waste. Many of us would take part in environmental initiatives if they were held in interesting formats. After all, let’s be honest, not everyone is ready to enthusiastically sort through piles of garbage or dig garden beds.

Is it possible to organize a corporate eco-event so that people not only do something socially useful but also have the opportunity to have fun and socialize in an informal setting?

Of course it is possible if you approach the organization process wisely. An environmental corporate event will not only turn employees into a close-knit team but also boost each person’s self-esteem. Moreover, such events have an excellent effect on the company’s image, even if the event is not covered in the media but simply posted on social networks and blogs. Compare: “Company ‘N’ held a corporate party at a bowling alley” and “Company ‘N’ held a city park greening tournament.” Notice that the second option sounds far more interesting and evokes more positive emotions. Surely the city authorities will also notice your company: after all, it has done something truly useful and needed for its hometown.

So how do you organize a corporate eco-event? We suggest choosing from several formats.

Corporate Alleys

A corporate alley is a large-scale realization of the beautiful idea that every person should plant a tree at least once in their life. Employees will plant a green corporate alley, making a useful gift to the city, their company, and themselves. Anyone who has ever planted something will describe the extraordinarily pleasant feeling of seeing your sapling grow and become more and more beautiful. The organizers’ task is to do everything so that planting the corporate alley does not turn into forced landscaping labor but becomes a real celebration for the entire team. 

The planting procedure can be varied in different ways, for example, by presenting it as a game. An eco-quest with outdoor tasks is not only interesting but also useful. The specialists at Aventura event agency are ready to take on all the preparations for the event so that you can enjoy a pleasant time.

Corporate Tree Planting

The organizers will help you:

• select and prepare a site for landscaping and coordinate it with the city administration;

• purchase and prepare everything needed for planting: plants, garden tools (including branded ones), work uniforms, signs;

• arrange water and electricity supply, transfers, and catering;

• organize a grand opening of the alley with performers;

• provide full technical support at all stages of the event;

• media and social media coverage of the event, preparation of photo and video reports.

Employees can take part in the planting themselves or entrust the tree planting to the organizers. But usually most companies are not at all against personal participation in the eco-initiative, because it is not mandatory. Any contribution is welcome, but often the gentlemen take on the physical labor while the ladies gracefully support the trees or do the watering. Sometimes trees are given names — can you imagine what the IT department would call its tree?! An interesting environmental event is discussed and remembered by the team for a long time; blogs and social networks fill up with opinions and photos. Planting a corporate alley improves not only the air in the city but also the atmosphere in the team!

Eco Team Building and Eco Festivals

Combining the pleasant with the useful is the main task of corporate environmental events. Eco team building is a joint outdoor recreation, but in a much more meaningful format. It features themed team-building games, a useful and engaging program, and an eco-picnic with healthy yet tasty food. As after any event, it is important not to leave trash behind and to clean it up in a timely manner.

Also, in addition to eco team building, you can organize an environmental festival, charity auction or concert dedicated to society’s environmental issues.  

Corporate Family Festival

The Area of “Green” Knowledge

“Green” master classes and interesting eco-lectures for employees and their children foster the kind of environmental thinking that is so relevant in today’s world, as well as a desire to care for the environment and lead an active and healthy lifestyle. By the way, at any event you can organize children’s eco-entertainment: craft contests using eco-materials and recycled materials. This format will not only help make the world cleaner but also delight the eye with beautiful works of art.

Eco-cleanup

• the aforementioned urban greening;

• building birdhouses (e.g., a competition for the most advanced one);

• building gazebos in children's institutions;

• painting walls or fences in nursing homes and facilities for people with disabilities;

• collective cleanup of littered public places — parks, squares, water bodies.

When choosing a format, the main thing is to focus on the wishes of the employees themselves, and the implementation can vary.
