ELGi Wraps Up the 5th Edition of #WhatsYourFinishLine
• Witnessed
participation from 154 global teams across 26 countries
• Contributes
to the fight against climate change by planting a tree on behalf of every
participant, ensuring they make a positive impact on the planet with every step
taken
Elgi Equipments one of the
world's leading air compressor manufacturers, concluded the fifth edition of
its annual #WhatsYourFinishLine challenge. The 21-day-long fitness challenge
ended on November 5, 2023, bringing together 1644 employees and channel
partners across the globe with the shared objective of advocating for
comprehensive wellness and a lifestyle focused on health.
This year, as an expression
of its dedication to a greener environment, ELGi implemented the 'Green
Champion' program, ensuring every participant is rewarded with the planting of
a mahogany tree. Close to two thousand neem or mahogany trees will be planted
later this month in Appanaickenpatti, Coimbatore. It is estimated that these
carbon storage heroes will sequester approximately 13200* metric tons of carbon
dioxide equivalent as they grow over the next decade.
The 5th edition of the
#WhatsYourFinishLine challenge saw 154 teams with participants from 26
countries collectively log 225.5 million steps via running, walking, and
jogging. The challenge also focused on providing participants with a holistic
view of their fitness journey, i.e., mood tracking, hydration monitoring, and
mindfulness sessions, aside from interactive lifestyle improvement and wellness
sessions led by award-winning Holistic Nutrition – Integrative and Lifestyle
Medicine Expert, Luke Coutinho, and Dr. Almos Sajjath, an ISSA-certified
health, and fitness consultant.
Later this year, Elgi Equipments will power the 11th edition of the Coimbatore Marathon 2023, which is scheduled to be held on December 17, 2023.
