A fantastic new internal initiative,Ideas@A+Ehas just been launched at A+E Networks EMEA.Ideas@A+E is a dedicated platform, created to facilitate idea sharing and collaboration, giving everyone a voice and opportunity to contribute to the company’s mission and purpose. The Senior Management Team across EMEA is committed to bringing the best ideas forward and implementing them, and we invite all employees to share their ideas. These contributions, big or small can significantly enhance our workplace, streamline our processes, and foster innovation, benefiting everyone.To kick offIdeas@A+E, our teams across EMEA were challenged to think outside the box by building a bridge using paper, a limited amount of cello tape, and a good dose of creative genius. The images received from this fun exercise clearly illustrate the limitless creativity of our teams.Watch this space for updates on the first ideas implemented.

The theme of this year’s #EarthDay is “Planet vs. Plastics”. Earthday.org is calling for the worldwide end of plastic use and demanding a 60% reduction in the production of all plastics by 2040 for the sake of human and planetary health.At A+E Networks EMEA, we have a passionate Green Team that worked hard over the past year to ensure that our offices across EMEA are as sustainable as possible. As a result, all single-use plastic cups were removed from our offices, eliminating the usage of over 800 single-use plastic cups a month. Solid recycling practices and two dedicated waste zones were also introduced to reduce the number of rubbish bins around and plastic bin liners were replaced by compostable ones for the food waste.To celebrate #EarthDay today, a variety of actions will take place across A+E Networks EMEA: tree planting in Italy, a vegetarian lunch in Spain, a programming stunt on The HISTORY Channel and Crime+Investigation in Germany, and the screening of the documentary “Two Degrees: Point of No Return” across CEE.In addition to our collective actions in the workplace, it is also important that our employees choose positive actions as individuals in their daily lives to turn off the tap on plastic pollution. In Poland, our colleagues will run a weeklong competition to showcase how they are reducing their own carbon footprint, and the UN Environmental Programme’s suggestions on how to #BeatPlasticPollution for #CleanSeas will be shared with everyone.#EarthDayhttps://lnkd.in/eCbsV2KVhttps://lnkd.in/d6b4Mr_a
