Full Time to Waste

As part of our Camonsite Environment Day and our certification as a "High Performer – Sustainable Partner Berlin," we set out together. In the morning, we had environmental training with a focus on waste prevention. Topics such as packaging, equipment, and the smart use of materials at events were covered. Then, it was time to roll up our sleeves and get out of the office.

As part of the "Kehrenbürger" initiative, Berlin's city cleaning service supplied us with the proper equipment: high-visibility vests, litter pickers, and sturdy trash bags. So let’s go! We set off in pairs and collected items that would otherwise have been left behind: plastic packaging, paper, etc.

What touched us most were the reactions of our neighbors. Many stopped to ask who we were and to say thank you. At a playground, children even joined in—just like that! They were curious, motivated, and completely natural. It was a wonderful moment of connection and a sign of how contagious commitment can be.

Our environmental training was the perfect start to the day. But everything really came together outside. We worked together, changed our perspective, and laughed together. For us, all of this is as much a part of sustainability as emissions data and event logistics. Anyone who has experienced the satisfaction of leaving a street cleaner than they found it will also pay closer attention to the next material planning.
