THE latest clean-up campaign by leading mobile network operator, NetOne Cellular testified sustained commitment to place Environmental Social Governance (ESG) at the heart of the group’s operations.
ESG considers non-financial factors beyond traditional financial metrics, aiming to assess a company’s impact on the environment, its relationship with stakeholders, and its governance structure.
The clean-up campaign held last Friday saw overwhelming participation from citizens across all ages and backgrounds, demonstrating the collective will to build a cleaner nation. From Chitungwiza to Gweru, Murehwa to Masvingo, NetOne’s teams, alongside community members, took to the streets, parks, and marketplaces to remove litter and promote environmental consciousness.
Speaking about the event, NetOne’s Group CEO, Engineer Raphael Mushanawani, reinforced the company’s dedication to environmental stewardship.
“NetOne is not just a telecommunications provider; we are a responsible corporate citizen committed to the well-being of our nation. A clean environment is the foundation of a healthy society, and we fully support His Excellency’s vision of a national clean-up culture. Today’s campaign is a testament to what we can achieve when we unite for a common cause,” he said.
NetOne’s clean-up initiative goes beyond a single day of action—it is part of a broader strategy to drive lasting behavioral change. By engaging communities and encouraging personal responsibility, the campaign seeks to instill a sense of pride and ownership in maintaining clean surroundings.
The company has also integrated eco-friendly practices into its operations, including waste reduction measures, e-waste management, and promoting digital solutions to minimize paper usage.
NetOne believes that sustainability is not just an obligation but an opportunity to innovate and lead by example.
While the nationwide clean-up was a resounding success, NetOne urges all Zimbabweans to continue the momentum.
“A clean Zimbabwe begins with each one of us,” said Mushanawani. “Let us make cleanliness a daily habit, not just an occasional effort. Together, we can build a nation we are all proud to call home.”
NetOne remains committed to supporting environmental initiatives, partnering with stakeholders, and empowering communities to take action. Through collective effort, we can ensure a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous Zimbabwe for generations to come.
