For the third time in a row, IU Group declared March as fitness month. Following the motto "I&U Around the World", more than 1,200 IU Group employees collected as many kilometres as possible for a good cause through sporting and sustainable activities. For every circumnavigation of the globe achieved, the company will plant 1,000 trees in Tanzania to strengthen the climate and support local communities with the help of the "Grow my Tree" project from the Impact Hero organisation. The teams covered a total of 423,364 kilometres, achieving the equivalent of 10.5 circumnavigations, which equates to 10,500 trees.
"With sport and sustainable behaviour, we not only shape our bodies, but also the world around us. A healthy, intact environment and society are the benchmark for our behaviour, our teaching and our research. We are very proud that so many colleagues have once again taken part in our campaign and become real 'Impact Heroes'," says Alex Čaičics, Head of Sustainability at IU Group.
