Lenzing’s Veocel brand on Thursday announced the launch of the “Veocel cares for the future” initiative that debuted globally and regionally on June 5, World Environment Day 2022.
As the start of a dedicated consumer education and engagement program, the campaign features a series of tailored activities in Europe, the U.S. and Asia. Aimed at inspiring and engaging communities to care for the environment, the initiative utilizes social media channels and content to inspire, educate and empower consumers to play a bigger role in caring for the planet and building a better future for the next generations.
“At Veocel, our care transcends boundaries, from our children and families to the wider community, our environment and our planet,” said Monique Buch, vice president of the global nonwovens business at Lenzing. “Our new global campaign is all about broadening what care means at each stage of one’s life, from couples to newlyweds and young parents. We hope that our collaboration with environmental advocates will empower consumers from different parts of the world to join us in caring for the environment and sharing their stories to inspire others. Every action counts toward building a better future.”
In Asia, environmental activist and singer Chet Lam kicked off the campaign with a specially curated “#IDo Pledge” that represents a life-long commitment to caring for nature and protecting the environment. This social media initiative will feature young influencers across Asia who are experiencing key milestones in their lives, from getting married to having children, across China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Thailand, who want to empower their generation to care for the future.
