Worldline in Greece teams up with Save Your Hood and takes care of the planet's future
Athens, 10 June 2025 – Worldline [Euronext: WLN], a global leader in payment services, carried out its second Clean-Up Day in collaboration with the non-profit organization Save Your Hood, on the occasion of World Environment Day and as part of its CSR Strategy, aiming to leave a positive environmental footprint.
More than 50 volunteers from Worldline in Greece (Worldline Greece & Cardlink, a Worldline brand) actively supported the environmental organization Save Your Hood by participating in the clean-up of the wetland in the Municipality of Artemida, as well as the nearby beach of Agios Nikolaos. The Artemida wetland is one of the few remaining wetlands in Attica. It's also part of a network of habitats that are highly important for birdlife in Eastern Attica, expanding from Schinias to Vravrona.
As a result of this initiative, approximately 7,200 liters of mixed waste were collected - 600 liters were recycled in the blue bins, while 6,600 liters of mixed and heavy waste were removed by a municipal vehicle. Before the clean-up, volunteers received training from the experienced Save Your Hood team to ensure the action's effectiveness and encourage environmentally conscious everyday behavior.
“Our team's strong response and the way people collaborate for the benefit of the community reflect the values of our company. We sincerely thank Save Your Hood for guiding us throughout this initiative and for sharing this meaningful experience with us. Change begins with each one of us,” said Mr. Ioannis Kitixis, Country Head and Managing Director of Worldline in Greece, in the context of his participation in the clean-up.
This action is part of Worldline's broader environmental initiative program, which primarily aims to raise public awareness and actively contribute to building a more environmentally responsible society.
In September 2024, Worldline kicked off globally the first Clean-Up Day during Sustainability Week, involving 9 countries and supported local environmental organizations. Worldline in Greece first collaborated with Save Your Hood. The 35 volunteers who participated in the clean-up of the heavily polluted Haidari Forest area collected more than three bins of mixed waste (4,100 liters), strengthening the organization's efforts to protect the area. Worldline is already preparing next Clean-Up Day for September 2025. At the global level, Worldline Foundation will also participate and donate to environmental associations. Employees all around the world will be able to vote and select how to distribute the amount among these associations.
