\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccsys, the fast-growing and eco-friendly company that\ncombines chemistry and technology to create high performance, sustainable wood\nbuilding products recently completed a charitable employee initiative called\n\u2018Step out, to help out!\u2019. This saw colleagues across the organisation\ncollectively walk over 16,000km over two months in the summer to promote\nwellbeing throughout the company and in our wider society.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recording their walks online and sharing photos and anecdotes along the way, the Accsys team walked a distance to cover the journey between Accsys\u2019 global office locations: a round trip from Arnhem in the Netherlands, where Accoya\u00ae is produced, to Hull in the UK, where the world\u2019s first Tricoya\u00ae plant is under construction, via its Head Office in London and on to its North American Sales Office in Dallas, USA\u2026and then back across the Atlantic to Arnhem again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The innitiative formed part of Accsys\u2019 focus on people and wellbeing and society and communities. The challenge was set up to boost employee wellbeing particularly during the pandemic which has affected daily life over the past year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As colleagues passed each milestone stage of the journey, this also triggered Accsys to pledge donations to three charities which were chosen due to their focus on improving wellbeing in Accsys\u2019 communities. A total of \u20ac10,000 was donated to Dimence Groep in the Netherlands, and Mind and the Timber Trades\u2019 Benevolent Society (TTBS) in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mind and Dimence Groep are mental health charities which offer support and strong, positive impacts in society, and the TTBS is focused on specifically helping people from the timber industry and their families that are in need of support.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Step out to help out\u2019 is a part of the \u2018Accsys in Action\u2019 programme, an ongoing series of campaigns and activities that have a positive impact on the lives of the people and communities close to Accsys.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natalia Bikkenina, Accsys Chief People Officer, commented: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very proud of the efforts\nmade by our colleagues and delighted to contribute to such worthwhile causes.\nPhysical and mental health and wellbeing are so important and should not be\ntaken for granted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe engagement and support for\nthis initiative from all our colleagues throughout Accsys shows how, with\nshared purpose and values, we can achieve great things, make a real, positive\nimpact in the world \u2013 and have fun doing it!\u201d  \n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
