The company is kicking off the second year of its involvement with SCA by participating as a Presenting Sponsor for the group’s 2012 Earth Day programme to be held in communities nationwide (US).
Leadership from SCA and DPS say continuing their partnership was an easy decision given their common goals and first-year accomplishments. In 2011, DPS’s support enabled SCA members in all 50 states to conduct projects in water conservation, native planting, waste reduction and recycling, and engage and educate more than 1.5 million Americans in sustainable behaviours.
SCA indicates that through DPS’s extended commitment, more than 4,000 young adults will protect America’s public lands while gaining meaningful work experience.
Dale Penny, president of Student Conservation Association, said: “Dr Pepper Snapple Group understands the need to connect youth with nature, and to support young adults seeking the green job skills and experience they need to launch a career in today’s competitive marketplace.
“On top of that, DPS’s corporate commitment to sustainability, particularly in the areas of water conservation and watershed protection, makes them an ideal partner.”
