Last Sunday, on September 13^th, I had the pleasure of participating in a very exciting sporting event in Paris. The 6.7 kilometre ‘La Parisienne’ is Europe’s biggest women-only race, and its long route snakes through the City of Light, from Pont d’Iéna to the Ecole Militaire.

Founded in 1997 by Patrick Aknin, La Parisienne raises funds for breast cancer research. The first ever La Parisienne race welcomed 1,500 runners – and, this year, over 39,200 women entered and ran, all driven to support this incredibly important cause.

As a sponsor, Diversey Care recently attended the first annual Green Clean Schools Leadership Summit, organized by the Healthy Schools Campaign (HSC). The University of Washington welcomed an enthusiastic group of facility managers, green cleaning leaders, manufacturers and distributors eager to improve the learning and working environments of students and staff.

With our hands coming into contact with a wide variety of surfaces and people, it’s crucial that we practice proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of infections.

To celebrate the World Health Organization’s (WHO) World Hand Hygiene Day, we organized the Hands on My Heart art contest to gather photographs of hands worth protecting via our website, Twitter and Instagram.
