Plogging Day 2025

On April 29, 2025, it was time again: Out of the (home) office and into your sneakers – our fifth Plogging Day was on! Whether in Kulmbach, Marktredwitz or remote: The dc team was out and about, picking up trash while jogging or walking. All in line with our motto “green beyond the logo” – our internal sustainability concept made up of many small and big actions to actively take responsibility for our planet. Want to learn more? Check it out here.

What is Plogging, anyway?

• Plogging combines “plocka” (Swedish for “pick up”) and jogging.
• While running or walking, you pick up trash – a simple but powerful way to combine environmental awareness with exercise 🌍🌱
• Plogging was started in 2016 by Swede Erik Ahlström – and since then, it’s inspired eco-activists and athletes all over the world.

This is how Plogging Day 2025 went down at dc 

• We mapped out routes at both Kulmbach and Marktredwitz locations
• Our remote colleagues could pick their own route – main thing: get that trash! 💪🏼
• Armed with grabbers, gloves, bags and care packages, we set out in small groups
• We ended up with lots of full trash bags – and some pretty wild finds 🤯

Our takeaway: It’s crazy what you find out there – but also super motivating to see how much you can achieve together!
