GLOBUL and GLOBUL employees will actively support the National nature park Day initiative by the Bulgarian branch of the global environmental organization WWF, to be held on May 23, 2009.
Thousands of volunteers are expected to join the cleaning and the renovation of the infrastructure and the recreation areas in the 11 nature parks in Bulgaria, including Vitosha, Rila Monastery, Zlatni Piasatsi, Vrachanski Balkan, Rusenski Lom, Stranja, Shumen Plateau, Bulgarska, Sinite Kamuni, Persina and Belasitza nature parks which are being visited by some 10 million tourists every year.
GLOBUL will provide financial and logistic support to the WWF initiative within the framework of its GLOBUL Green long-term sustainable development strategy. Many company employees are also expected to join the project volunteers across the country.
This will be the second edition of the National Nature Parks Day initiative by WWF, the first one being held in fall 2007. Besides cleaning and renovation of the parks, the project aims to promote responsible behavior and protection of the Bulgarian nature.

GLOBUL launched its GLOBUL Green sustainable development strategy in 2008 with initial investment of BGN 400,000. The strategy includes a set of measures and initiatives, aiming to minimise the company’s footprint on the environment, promote reuse and recycling, raise public awareness and support public environmental projects. GLOBUL is the first telecommunications operator to develop and launch such initiative in Bulgaria.
