out at our offices all over the world, on occasion of World
Environment Day. - Every year, team members of ECU Worldwide Antwerp

people and companies unite to collect dozens to hundreds of
kilos of garbage. The results are much cleaner streets! - As part of the ECU Worldwide Entrepreneurship Challenge,
employees from various departments came together and
shared their innovative ideas within any 2 of the 5 criteria (Cost
Effectiveness, Process Elimination / Improvement, Profit
Maximisation, Possibility of implementation, Uniqueness).
Winners got the opportunity to work alongside the relevant
department and implement their idea into action.
