Every year we celebrate World Environment Day by getting involved in a special initiative. This year, we decided to organize an event with a branch of SOS Children’s Villages in Lekenik, Croatia.

Alongside the children from the village, BNP Paribas Cardif employees helped plant 100 flowers and participated in a trashcan-painting workshop. Laughter and positive energy abounded!

SOS Children’s Villages is an organization that takes care of children who have lost their parents or who lack proper parental care, regardless of their race, nationality or faith. The association provides them a sense of security in a friendly environment, as well as a permanent home and the education that provide the foundation of a happy and peaceful childhood.

Through this event, we hoped to encourage the association’s local visibility, as well as to increase awareness about sustainable development among the young people involved.

Cardif Croatia aims to take part in this project every year, through an education program as well as office tours for the children from SOS Children’s Villages.
