Arricano is a socially responsible company focused on making a difference for the better for our communities and society. In accordance with the adopted CSR strategy, we implement projects that are socially significant for the shopping mall communities and actively involve visitors, tenants and the team. 

For global Earth Day, Arricano conducts environmental initiatives in its Kyiv shopping malls.

For more than a year of the war, huge areas of Ukrainian land have become unsuitable for the work of farmers, forests are scorched, fields are mined, and soils are depleted. It will take years to restore the number of green spaces in Ukraine, but we can speed up this process. Start with your area.

That is why Arricano organizes eco-activities in Prospekt shopping mall and RayON shopping mall in order to green Kyiv together with the citizens and remind about the benefits and importance of eco-learning in our lives. 

On Saturday, April 29, the Prospect shopping mall calls on Kyiv residents to join the planting of trees in the DShK park, located next to the shopping mall, and create an Alley of Peace. Come with families, with children, and with friends — together we will make an important contribution to the landscaping of your hometown and district and the health of the planet.

Visitors to the shopping mall will also be able to take part in GREENCROSSING — the exchange of houseplants: give the pot in good hands or choose another one to replace it. GREENCROSSING rules can be found on the Prospekt shopping mall's website and in social media.

In addition, the shopping mall organizes the collection of used batteries, which will be transferred for processing at the GreenWEEE plant in Romania. All those who joined the initiative on April 22-23, as well as those who will hand over spent power sources on April 29, will be able to take part in the draw of gifts from the partners of the event. 

“Sorting garbage, recycling used batteries, using eco-bags for food, planting new trees, bushes and flowers are simple steps that everyone can take, but they can significantly improve our lives. We really want to participate in eco-initiatives to become a habit of Ukrainians, and therefore we gradually teach citizens to restore and preserve nature. 

Socially responsible companies gladly supported our Earth Day project and will join the greening of Kyiv on April 29. Among them: DECATHLON, Yves Rocher, Auchan Ukraine, Greek House, Springfield, and BROCARD. This eco-consciousness of leading retail companies is already a significant indicator of change,” said Inna Morozova, Marketing Director at Arricano. 

Prospekt shopping mall invites children and adults on April 29 at 13:00 to take a quest for orientation on the ground from students and teachers of the Geographical Faculty of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, to join master classes on creating eco-growers for birds, planting microgreens, dancing, yoga, and stretching.

All visitors to the shopping mall will be able to join the outdoor sports games prepared by the partners of the event. The most active participants of eco-initiatives will receive prizes.
RayON shopping mall offers on April 29 to spend Saturday actively together with relatives: to go through a bicycle or hiking eco-challenge and get a gift of green boxes with flower seeds and greens to plant new plants with children.

In addition, everyone will learn how to make eco-feeders, plant microgreens that can be eaten, and learn many scientific life hacks during the exciting Green Energy Show. Visitors are waiting for impressive experiments that will show what science is capable of, and how it is already healing the planet Earth. The following will be involved in the experiments of the show: wind, lightning, magnetic field, pressure, incredible inventions, scientific life hacks, music, jokes, and much more.

Partners: DECATHLON, Yves Rocher, Auchan Ukraine, Greek House, women'secret, SPRINGFIELD, BROCARD, MULTIPLEX, "GreenWEEE", Geographical Faculty of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. 

The event is held with the support of the Desnianska district State Administration in Kyiv, Municipal association "Kyivzelenbud", and Municipal enterprise "Blahoustrii Desnianskoho raionu".
