Green Team Building: Heineken's Environmental Initiative
A green team building event for the finance team at Heineken Italia was carefully crafted in collaboration with Legambiente, a renowned environmental organization.
Smart Eventi merged the company's team building activities with an eco-friendly challenge, propelling Heineken to embrace a 'Social Team Building' experience that fused teamwork with environmental stewardship.
Green Team Building in Parco Trotter
Milan's Parco Trotter offered an ideal setting for the team to engage in meaningful environmental team building activities and this choice also underscores the importance of preserving such urban green spaces.
Upon arrival, the 150 participants were divided into teams, each led by an experienced tutor. The briefing session not only introduced the park’s history but also outlined the various socially beneficial tasks that awaited them.
This initial orientation set the tone for the day's activities, instilling a sense of purpose and enthusiasm among the participants.
Rolling Up Their Sleeves for a Greener Future
The teams rolled up their sleeves and dived into a myriad of hands-on activities, each contributing to the park's rejuvenation and preservation. From removing unsightly graffiti to securing the safety of an aviary, the participants embraced the opportunity to leave a positive imprint on their surroundings.
But their efforts didn't stop there. They planted lavender seedlings, meticulously cleaned and restored the butterfly garden, and tended to the park's vegetable patch.
Not to be outdone, some teams even constructed two charming wooden planters and revitalized the park's long-forgotten swimming pool.
A Delicious Reward for the Participants
After a morning of invigorating physical labor, the team's appetite for environmental stewardship was matched by their hunger for a well-deserved lunch. Smart Eventi orchestrated a delectable farm-to-table dining experience, featuring locally sourced ingredients from a renowned Lombard agritourism establishment.
The meal provided an opportunity for the participants to reflect on their contributions, share their experiences, and bond over their shared commitment to environmental stewardship.
