Farmak’s Eco-School has been rewarded with the RAY Marketing Awards in the category “Social Project of the Year”
The X-RAY Marketing Awards is an award granted to the best in the creative industry, those who have managed to withstand all the challenges of 2020 following assessment of the short-listed nominees by 360-degree method.
All of the X-RAY Marketing Awards short-listed projects have undergone a three-party assessment: by an expert jury, via online voting and by the organising committee members.
The purpose of the Eco-School project is to unite and create a community of young environmental activists, promote environmentally friendly lifestyle among young people and raise awareness of resource and energy saving.
The pilot Eco-School project was successfully implemented in 2018 in Shostka where the API Production Division of JSC Farmak is located. In 2019, Farmak expanded the Eco-School project and involved 10 schools in Kyiv. A unique manual that embraces the most crucial and important issues the world faces today has been developed for students. The manual “Eco-School” has been approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
