Ready to make a difference? Come corporate volunteering with Greater Sydney Landcare like @ampolaustralia did at @marrickvillegolf club in October. The Ampol team helped clear 60 kg of weeds and 200 kg of rubbish from bush on the course - a fantastic effort and great day out of the office to boot.

Discover how your team can contribute to environmental stewardship & community greening. Comment ‘Go team!’ below & we’ll DM you a link to our Corporate Volunteering Info Pack.

Or comment ‘Amazing!’ for a link to more info about the Ampol x Marrickville Golf Club conservation working bee.
