PrimeIT, aware of the emergence of changing behaviour in favour of the environment, has been adopting a stance that allows it to reduce its ecological footprint. This concern, through the motto “Proudly Green” is transversal to all the technological consultancy and has been felt in the most varied activities.

Through Prime Care, a programme which aims to involve employees in solidarity and environmental actions, PrimeIT has already brought its team together in two major causes. First, in partnership with the Bandeira Azul (Blue Flag) association, it cleaned the beach of Leça de Palmeira, in the north of the country. During one morning, the collection of rubbish from the beach proved to be a real success, allowing several kilos of polluting waste to be removed from this bathing season.

Then, towards the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and, together with the Association Plante uma Árvore (Plant a Tree), promoted a reforestation, thus boosting the growth of another green area in this mountain range so important to the capital. The information technology company’s events have also become more environmentally friendly, with the assiduous presence of reusable glasses.

In addition to these measures, there have been many other gestures, both inside and outside the office, such as raising awareness to the practice of recycling in the workplace, both in the meal pantry and near the printers; the distribution of glass bottles to all Primers, to reduce the use of plastic cups as much as possible; the allocation of cloth bags, which can be used in various functions and, now more recently, in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, the provision of fully certified reusable masks.

In addition to these actions, one particularly dedicated to quarantine time between March and June has been added: a Manual of Good Practices. The document provided small tips that allowed any Primer to reduce its ecological footprint by creating a small vegetable garden, reducing electricity consumption, among others.

Thus, “Proudly Green” is not only a motto that is directly linked to PrimeIT’s green colour; it is, above all, a way of looking to the future, making the more than 1900 employees of the international company aware of its importance in this fight for a more sustainable environment.
