SWEAT FOR THE PLANET 2023

On September 21st, Extia Spain employees participated in the Sweat for the planet sports and solidarity event to run as many km and activity as possible in order to raise a lot of money for the association Project Rescue Ocean.

Extia employees, both in Barcelona and Madrid, were able to participate voluntarily in the 5 activities organized by the events team: running, walking, push-up repeats, cycling and swimming. Every step counts, so the extians who came walking to the office or cycling during the morning also did their bit.

Throughout the day, Extians challenged each other to achieve the best score in each activity, but at the end of the day, everyone shared the common goal of having fun and making a donation to improve the planet.

The swimming team woke up the earliest to go for the longest swim in pools near the office, swimming over 8,000 meters in total! Other volunteers took part in a marked running route through the streets of Barcelona and, together with the Madrid team, reached 150 kilometers.

At the same time, many ex-volunteers participated in the pushups activity, where for each repetition, 0.5€ was donated to the foundation. This was the most competitive exercise of the year!

To end the day, we were visited by Máxime, representative of Project Rescue Ocean, who explained who their association is, their origins and what they do for the ocean. The association organizes eco-citizen actions both on the beaches and inland in order to raise public awareness, especially among young people, about the state of the environment, seas and oceans. Everyone can join the cause.

Finally we counted all the money raised during the day and celebrated the winners ceremony for each activity. In total we have made a donation of 1.897€. Thanks to all the extians for contributing to the good cause, giving the best of themselves and for the energy in every moment lived !
