Bike to Work wins PR News’ magazine CSR PR Award
The project Bike to Work, launched in a public-private partnership between Coca-Cola HBC Croatia and Moj bicikl Association, is among finalists for the annual corporate social responsibility PR Award presented by the American magazine PR news.
Coca-Cola HBC Croatia is among the four finalists in the category Employee Relations. According to the organizer, this year’s competition was extremely strong, so being among the finalists is already a great accomplishment. All the finalists received their awards at the ceremony which took place in Washington on March 8, 2011.
The company launched the project Bike to Work in order to encourage its employees to enjoy a more active lifestyle and ride bicycles as often as they can. At the center of the project were unique Bistra bikes which Coca-Cola HBC Croatia presented to its employees to use them free of charge either to commute to work or for recreational purposes.
Cycling does not create either air pollution or noise and riding a bike for half an hour a day is enough to satisfy the daily need of the human body for physical activity. It is also a healthy and an inexpensive way to commute in urban areas. Coca-Cola HBC Croatia therefore promotes the use of bikes for commuting among its employees. So far the company got more than 60 bicycles for its employees in different parts of Croatia.
After winning the European Excellence Award for the project Our Beautiful Sava in 2009, Coca-Cola HBC now has a second CSR project which has won international recognition.
