In an effort to raise awareness about the harmful impact of plastic waste on the environment, the Managing Director of Vivo Energy Ghana, Mr Christian Li, has encouraged customers to adopt more sustainable habits in their daily lives regarding the use of plastics.
He said customers needed to make a conscious decision to reduce plastic use, starting with reusable bottle which he said was a symbol of Vivo Energy Ghana’s commitment to protecting our environment.
The MD made the call to action at a customer engagement in Accra on Monday in commemoration of World Environment Day.
As part of the engagement at the Airport Shell in Accra, Mr Li, together with employees of Vivo Energy Ghana, distributed branded eco-friendly reusable glass bottles to customers, an initiative aimed to encourage the reduction of single-use plastics and highlight the importance of making environmentally responsible choices.
Mr Li also highlighted the urgency of addressing environmental degradation, noting that plastic pollution was a growing issue and emphasised that collective effort was essential in reversing the damage already done and protecting the country’s natural resources for future generations.
Employees of Vivo Energy Ghana who participated in the exercise also took time to interact with customers, sharing tips on sustainable living and encouraging them to adopt environmentally friendly habits such as recycling, reusing containers, and avoiding single-use plastics where possible.
This year’s World Environment Day was celebrated globally under the theme “Beat Plastic Pollution,” a call that aligns closely with Vivo Energy’s sustainability agenda.The reusable bottle distribution is one of several initiatives Vivo Energy Ghana has launched in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production and Goal 13: Climate Action.
