Ghana: Vivo Energy promotes recycling with new school program

As part of its community investment focus on the environment Vivo Energy Ghana, the Shell licensee, has launched a comprehensive recycling programme targeted at basic schools in Ghana.

In partnership with the NGO Environment 360, Vivo Energy will promote recycling in basic schools in the James Town, Chorkor and Lartebiokorshie enclave of the Greater Accra Region.

The initiative, dubbed CyClean, forms part of Vivo Energy Ghana’s people-centred community activity programme, focused on communities where it operates, according to the company.

“At Vivo Energy Ghana, we believe that instilling the habit of recycling in children, particularly those in school, will have a generational effect,” said Managing Director of Vivo Energy Ghana, Ebenezer Faulkner.

So far, over 3,000 school children from Nii Kojo Ababio Basic School, A.M.E Zion Cluster of schools, St. Georges Anglican School and Korle Gonno R/C Boys School have participated in this programme.

Vivo Energy Ghana has a fuels storage capacity of 11,000m³ and 210 service stations, with many offering Shell Cards and convenience retail stores.
