In Latin America, a large number of Brenntag sites and employees are dedicated to protecting the environment and increasing environmental awareness in local communities.
In 2018, Brenntag Ecuador was particularly active in this regard: In February 2018, many Brenntag employees took part in a beach-cleaning initiative organized by the Ministry for the Environment in the provinces of Guayas and Santa Elena. To coincide with World Environment Day in June, the company attended an event held by the pharmaceutical distributor DIFARE with an information stand on “Preventing plastic pollution”, and also supported a reforestation project organized by the environmental foundation Proyecto Verde along a railway line in a residential district of the city of Durán, with a financial contribution aswell as hands-on involvement.
