Similar to the 20.09. (World Children's Day), the International Children's Day is all about children. And that's where supermarket giant Penny goes. In the approximately 2, 150 stores, around 400, 000 Pro Planet apples are to be distributed free of charge to children.
Background of the action: Many children are not fed well enough. Fruits and vegetables are too rare in Germany for many children on the menu. And to make that change, at least on International Children's Day, Penny distributes apples for free.
"With the action we want to show on the one hand, that even in Germany fruit is still not part of daily food for many children, because their parents can not afford it, and on the other hand we show that we are committed to future generations Leaving a livable world to our children and grandchildren is key to sustainability, " says Stefan Magel, COO PENNY. Penny supports various clubs that work for children and youth work.
Also with other actions such as the Herzbube eggs (we have reported), Penny, for example, for animal welfare. In addition, Penny always sells "crooked" fruits and vegetables and reacts with targeted actions on the "beauty craze" in fruits and vegetables. In this way, the consumer should be given more understanding of sustainability.
