Servicon Builds on its Commitment to Sustainability and Community by Sponsoring Tree Planting
CULVER CITY, Calif., April 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In honor of Earth Month, Servicon, Southern California's leading hospital environmental services (EVS) provider and commercial cleaning services company, is partnering with TreePeople to plant trees in Inglewood, CA. The event takes place on April 26 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. More than 20 Servicon employees from corporate headquarters and the field, including Servicon co-owner Greg Mahdesian, will plant the approximately 30 indigenous trees Servicon purchased for this year's event.
This year marks the second year Servicon and TreePeople will partner for the program. The first time was in 2019, and they planned to make it an annual event before the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown. Their mutual goal is to make it a yearly Earth Month tradition moving forward.
Participating in tree planting is another way Servicon continues its commitment to sustainability. The company chose Inglewood because many Servicon employees work there, making it an excellent opportunity to give back to the community.
"Servicon management and staff are committed to doing all we can to be more sustainable, protect the environment, and create a better working and living environment, especially in the communities we serve," says Servicon President and CEO Laurie Sewell. "Expanding our tree canopy is one of the most effective ways to pull carbon out of the atmosphere and reduce greenhouse gasses to combat the climate crisis. It also helps reduce the heat-island effect that negatively impacts underserved communities and beautifies our neighborhoods to make them more pleasant places to live. It's good exercise and a fun opportunity to spend time outdoors as a team. And like Servicon, TreePeople is celebrating 50 years of service, so it is exciting to share a milestone year with them!"
