To celebrate the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Antalis employees around the globe walked a combined total of 176,852 kilometres as part of a challenge to raise money for charity.

Between 21 May and 14 June, 1331 employees from across 10 countries took part in the challenge to walk as many steps as possible. The aim of the walking challenge was to improve physical and mental health, strengthen team spirit and raise funds for good causes.

The region to walk the most steps was central and south eastern Europe (CSEE), whose 247 participants walked more than 49 million steps, equating to almost 37,500 kilometres. The team of 188 participants representing the UK and Ireland took a respectable fifth place in the league table, walking more than 33 million steps (25,300 kilometres). 

Each country chose a charity to support, with the winning region CSEE raising €5000 for RO Paralympics Team charity. Locally, Prostate Cancer UK was the chosen charity for the United Kingdom, with £846 raised, and Irish Antalis colleagues chose Alzheimers, for which they raised €500.  

HR director UK and Ireland at Antalis, Tim Longley, commented: ‘With the Olympic Games in Paris this summer, it seemed an ideal time for colleagues across Antalis to get walking, get healthy and raise money for good causes. It also provided a bit of fun and healthy competition with our colleagues around the globe.’
