"It was a joy to see that I have colleagues who mobilize, break their time and come to the aid of nature. I want the determination of my colleagues to inspire even more people, or why not, companies, because change begins with small steps and it takes each of us to leave behind us a better and cleaner world" says Mara Cristea, Action Ambassador and Deputy General Manager, Finance and Planning Division, within OTP Bank Romania.

A new action to clean the banks and riverbeds of Jiu, the second of this year, in which OTP Bank employees will participate, will take place in September.

"This is the second collaboration with OTP Bank and I can say that we had an even more successful action than last time because now we have put our entire arsenal of equipment on the line and all have gone on the water. After 6 years of Ape fără Plastic I stick to the idea that you can only really appreciate the size of plastic pollution of the waters by participating in actions like those organized by our association. It takes a second to throw a pack in the water and 2-3 minutes to recover it." says Dan Mirea, president of the Association Waters without Plastic.

OTP Bank mentions that it has initiated and supported in the last year internal and external projects that focus on environmental education and has also chosen to act both through plastic cleaning and through actions to revitalize the environment, offering customers thousands of plantable papers.
