AL BARSHA, UAE - March 5, 2015 - PRLog -- The Grand Millennium Dubai participated in the Can Collection Day programme organised by the Emirates Environmental Group (EEG) on February 26, 2015, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) towards making a positive impact on the environment by reducing energy usage and by helping to conserve earth’s natural resources.

Mariana Paunescu, Director of Housekeeping at the Grand Millennium Dubai hotel said, “We are delighted to have supported this campaign, which promotes the importance of healthy living. I believe it will grow to become one of the must–attend campaigns for everyone who believes in their civic responsibilities.”

She thanked the Emirates Environmental Group (EEG) for inviting the hotel to participate in a movement which raises awareness towards recycling. Mariana said that the group plays an important role in impacting and inspiring residents to learn, overcome obstacles and understand that positive values can be lived each day.

“The drive raises awareness about reducing landfill waste, cutting down emissions and minimising carbon footprint of the emirate. Such drives are important to form a common vision of a just, peaceful and sustainable future for all,” she said.

The hotel has been actively participating in the drive for the past two years and the staff members have been making untiring efforts in championing environmental causes through participation in various awareness drives, action campaigns and events, truly following the principles behind the initiatives.
