MECATHERM North America & ABI recently held the first edition of their “Sustainability Week” located in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada.
The aim of this event was to raise awareness among all employees about sustainability through three days highlighting key thematics such as safety and well-being at work, and waste management.
A rich and varied program
Throughout these themed days, employees were able to take part in booths, quizzes, and talks centered around these three topics:
· Workplace safety
The booth provided on‑site consultations conducted by a certified chiropractor to identify injuries and pain points. Employees also received hands‑on treatments to reduce tension and improve mobility, along with personalised exercise tips to address posture issues and physical discomfort.
· Health well-being
The booth hosted sessions combining breathwork, gentle movement, somatic exercises, and guided meditation. Participants discovered practical and accessible tools designed to be easily integrated throughout the workday to support well‑being, focus, and recovery.
· Waste management
The booth offered workshops focusing on waste management. It also gave employees the opportunity to ask questions while improving their daily waste management practices.
“This first edition of this Sustainability Week at Toronto site was a great success. It helped us raise awareness of sustainability topics and engage all our employees, bringing sustainability culture to life. At ABI and MECATHERM North America, sustainability is not just a word, it is a strong and long-term commitment.” Amandine CARDONNET, Sustainability Manager
This annual event reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering a safe and supportive work environment. It also contributes to a more sustainable future in line with ABI’s and MECATHERM sustainability strategy, built on three core pillars: environmental responsibility, safety and the wellbeing of our people, and supporting our customers in their CSR ambitions.
