2009-09-25 - Fair also highlights environmental focus
New Berlin, Wisconsin, September 28. 2009 – The ABB New Berlin Change Excellence & Charitable Contributions Committees paired up to sponsor the 3rd annual Environmental, Health & Safety Fair on September 23
rd at the USNBD Campus here.
Over 30 exhibitors from local businesses offered employees information on topics from health & wellness to recreational activities. Employees had a chance to participate in Zumba exercise classes and try out the latest in electric bicycles, as well as many other activities.
The Charitable Contributions Committee’s charter for the year is the environment, so employees also learned about conservation, recycling and tax breaks for making energy efficient choices. Employees enjoyed the variety of exhibitors and local businesses enjoyed the opportunity to learn about ABB.
