Velenje, April 22nd, 2008 – To commemorate the Earth day Gorenje presented for the first time the Eco Family initiative to the public. The aim of the initative is to motivate individuals to change their wasteful habits, to introduce energy-efficient technology in their homes, and to seek alternative options. By establishing the Eco Family initiative, Gorenje is extending the framework of thinking about the agents of efforts for a cleaner environment; in addition to asking what I can do as an individual or employee, it seeks to answer how we as society can contribute. Two books entitled Ecofamily – Environmentally Friendly Operation in Order to Preserve the Planet and Ecofamily – Help the Planet with the Informed Behavious, have been published within the initiative of the Eco Family.
