Of the group of 250 employees of Hollister, 106 participated in a reforestation initiative in an area in the Mijas highlands.
Recently, the Estepona-based DMC Experience Box organized an incentive with team building for Hollister, a company that makes and markets health products and services, with the participation of 250 employees from the States and several European countries.
The highlight of the incentive trip was a CSR activity, in which 106 of Hollister’s employees participated, involving the reforestation of an area in the vicinity of the River Fuengirola, located in the Mijas Highlands, with the close collaboration of Exploramas and Mijas Town Council. Experience Box styled the CSR activity as a challenge, dividing the group into several teams which competed against one another. All the participants threw themselves into the activity and, in truth, it was impossible de choose a champion; although the authentic winners were the River Fuengirola, the Mijas highlands, and the Costa del Sol.
All the trees planted during this CSR initiative will be monitored, especially if it does not rain soon, so as to maximize the probability of survival.
Furthermore, in addition to transport services and the reforestation activity, Experience Box also organized a round of golf on the La Quita course, close to the famous Puente Romano Hotel where the group stayed, as well as a number of leisure activities, featuring shopping in Puerto Banus and several lunches with tapas and wine in the town of Mijas with the aim of allowing the participants to discover Andalusia’s delicious cuisine.
Hollister Limited is dedicated to delivering the highest standard of products and services in ostomy and continence care. Each of its product lines is backed by a policy of unconditional customer satisfaction and each member of the Hollister team is committed to making a difference in the lives of people who use the company’s products. For this reason, the company was very interested in involving its employees in a CSR initiative that supported the local community and, at the same time, helped to foster a healthy team spirit among the participants. Last year, the company held a similar event in the USA in which the participants made bicycles for the region’s disadvantaged children. This year, Hollister chose Southern Spain for its annual event, above all for its mild climate, among other reasons.
