World Environment Day Clean-Up at Qawra Coast

In celebration of World Environment Day, AX ODYCY and AX Sunny Coast proudly joined hands with Coast Is Clear Foundation to lead a clean-up initiative along the Qawra coast. This event brought together employees across all departments in a shared mission to protect and preserve our beautiful coastline. The clean-up comes just one week after ODYCY celebrated its first year of operation and not only demonstrated AX ODYCY’s dedication to corporate social responsibility (CSR) but also showcased the collective drive to give back to the community.

World Environment Day, observed annually on June 5th, serves as a global platform to raise awareness and inspire action for the protection of our environment. AX Hotels Qawra, committed to making a positive impact, embraced the spirit of the day by organizing a clean-up event that underscored their dedication to environmental stewardship.

AX Hotels Qawra employees gathered at the picturesque Qawra coast, armed with gloves, bags, and an unwavering commitment to make a difference. The team, under the guidance of Coast Is Clear Foundation leader, were tasked with cleaning up the shoreline and community, collecting litter scattered in various parts of Qawra, including bushes in the heart of the town, a carpark, and on the rocks along the coast. The team gathered over 20 large garbage bags full of debris.

The clean-up initiative, organized in collaboration with Coast Is Clear, exemplified the power of partnership in achieving common goals. Coast Is Clear, an organization dedicated to marine conservation, provided invaluable support and expertise, ensuring the success of the event. Their guidance on best practices for waste collection and disposal was instrumental in making the clean-up both effective and environmentally responsible.

Joseph Vella, General Manager of AX Hotels Qawra, expressed his pride in the team’s efforts: “Our participation in this clean-up initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability and community engagement. It is heartening to see our employees come together to make a tangible difference in our environment. This event is a testament to our shared responsibility to protect and preserve the natural world for future generations.”

From an HR perspective, such initiatives play a crucial role in building a positive workplace culture and enhancing employee morale. Joseanne Tanti Agbaje, HR Manager at AX Hotels Qawra, highlighted the importance of CSR activities in fostering a sense of purpose among employees: “Participating in CSR initiatives like the World Environment Day clean-up not only benefits the environment but also strengthens the bond between our employees and the community. It instills a sense of pride and accomplishment, reinforcing the values of teamwork, responsibility, and corporate citizenship that are central to our mission.”

The event provided an opportunity for employees to step outside their usual roles and collaborate in a different context. This break from routine not only promoted team building but also allowed employees to witness the direct impact of their efforts. The sense of camaraderie and collective achievement was evident.

The clean-up initiative at Qawra coast was a resounding success, demonstrating AX Hotels Qawra’s dedication to environmental conservation whilst also giving back to the community. As AX Hotels Qawra looks to the future, their commitment to CSR remains unwavering, driven by the belief that every small effort contributes to a larger, greener impact.
