Now on its 40th year, Earth Day is the only event celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. More than a billion people participate in Earth Day activities each year, which falls every 22nd of April. Earth Day began as a grassroots movement in the 1960s when over 20 million demonstrators and thousands of schools and local communities participated in bringing environmental issues to the forefront in American politics. Since then, activities and concerns have expanded over the entire globe with Earth Day celebrated in over 140 countries worldwide.

Earth Day is about getting involved and becoming connected with local communities that share similar interests in protecting and enhancing the environment. Island Pacific’s corporate responsibility involves caring for the communities in which we live and work. It aims to contribute in ways that can improve and develop our communities and making sure that its business processes do not exploit the environment.
