Championing a Cleaner Douala with Massive World Clean-Up Day Campaign
Douala, Cameroon – In honour of World Clean-Up Day, Olam Agri, through its flagship rice brand Riz Bijou, partnered once again with Carrefour Market to lead a large-scale clean-up campaign across Douala’s key districts — Douala 1er, 3ème, 4ème, and 5ème.
This year’s initiative was significantly larger than previous editions, mobilising hundreds of volunteers, including a remarkable number of Olam Agri employees, to tackle plastic waste and raise awareness about environmental protection. The campaign aimed to inspire behavioural change around waste management and promote a cleaner, greener Douala.
At Olam Agri, sustainability is not merely a corporate objective. It is a shared responsibility. Our active involvement in community development initiatives such as this clean-up campaign reflects our dedication to building a better future. We believe that meaningful change begins at the grassroots, and we are proud to be part of that journey.

The massive involvement of our teams in this initiative demonstrates that sustainability is not just a value we speak about — it is embedded in our people. Together, we are actively shaping a future where environmental consciousness becomes second nature.

The clean-up drive was further supported by Olam Agri’s internal “Eco Green: Think Green, Act Green” campaign, which continues to educate employees on waste management and environmental stewardship. This initiative stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and community action. As we mark World Clean-Up Day, Olam Agri reaffirms its commitment to sustainability — not just in words, but through impactful action.
Together, we are building a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future!
