Nectar Group dedicated two dress-down days – 23 and 30 October – to generate awareness and to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer. Employees donated money to go to work wearing the sponsored Pink October t-shirts and jeans.

Following the Pink October campaign, many male employees responded to the Movember campaign in raising awareness particularly for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity. Male employees are competing amongst each other in growing their beards and having their photos posted on the Company’s Facebookpage so that the progress of each growing beard is followed and voted for.

Moreover, in order to encourage healthier lifestyle and activity along the Movember campaign, employees organised a football game at Mqabba Grounds which was enjoyed by all.

“These activities instil a special meaning for our employees, while increasing team spirit in a fun and rewarding atmosphere. It is a satisfaction to see our Group involved in global campaigns and contributing towards the fight against cancer,” said Mr Roderick Abela, Nectar Group’s Managing Director.

Family-owned and run Nectar Group of Companies is one of the leading importers and distributors in the food and beverage industry across Malta and Gozo. The Group strives for excellence in supplying superior quality products, and in maintaining best practices and care for society.
