SOS Village d’Enfants is an international non-governmental organization supporting vulnerable families. The donation will also help fund a new Belgian center “Marche-en Famenne,” which offers shelter, assistance and psychosocial support to 2,000 children and 700 families.
River Cleanup
In addition to Acting Responsibly for our Planet in our own operations, we are also committed to doing our part in our local communities. Our Pepinster, Belgium site participated in a cleanup of the Hoëgne River in partnership with Operation Clean Rivers.
Furthermore, “The Small Ants of the River Hoëgne,” a group of Pepinster community members, which includes Cabot employees have been working together to remove debris from the banks of the river as part of the July 2021 flood recovery efforts.
The Homework School
Cabot Loncin and Pepinster are proud to sponsor the Homework School - l’Ecole des devoirs – “La Place”- in the multicultural and popular district of Saint Léonard Léonard in Liège since 2019.
The goal of this initiative goes beyond homework coaching. It also offers sports, games, crafts, theater workshops, cooking and journalism. The aim is to help children to reinforce a positive self-image and help them become responsible, active, optimistic and supportive citizens.
Pink Ribbon March
Throughout the month of May 2022, the Loncin and Pepinster site participated in the The Pink March, an initiative that is part of the fight against breast cancer.
All employees were encouraged to walk a minimum of 10,000 steps a day. Together with other participants in Belgium, the team walked toward a goal of enough steps to cover the circumference of the earth five times.
