NETONE, one of Zimbabwe's leading mobile network operators, has rolled out a clean-up campaign in various communities as part of efforts to fight environmental pollution.
The telecoms giant last Friday partnered with stakeholders in Mutasa district, Manicaland province, in a campaign to promote a clean environment.
The exercise, which dovetails with government’s clean-up campaign, was part of NetOne’s corporate social responsibility (CSR)
According to NetOne chief commercial officer, Learnmore Musunda, the joint initiative that took place at Hauna Business Centre in the district is aimed at promoting sustainable practices within the community.
“The National Clean-up Day is a collective effort to clean up and preserve the environment. It’s a day where individuals and organisations come together to pick up litter, promote recycling, encourage proper disposal of waste and raise awareness about the importance of keeping our surroundings clean and green,” said Musunda.
“We will continue to support the government’s efforts to make sure that we all live in a clean and healthy environment.”
Musunda added that, apart from preventing pollution and protecting natural habitats, the initiative is aligned with the telecommunications giant's mission to develop communities and transform lives through digital solutions
NetOne acting head of marketing Tatenda Makumborenga said the clean-up exercise in partnership with the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) and other local stakeholders was the beginning of NetOne's bigger and better CSR efforts, including outdoor bin installations, in communities across the country

Looking ahead, we plan to expand our clean-up efforts to reach out to more communities and make a greater impact on environmental conservation.”
