Rio dos Sinos is Ours

LANXESS sponsors an initiative with students from Rio Grande do Sul to conserve the Rio dos Sinos basin
 
LANXESS is one of the supporters of the competition “Rio dos Sinos is Ours." This effort was created to challenge students from the seventh and eighth grades in primary schools in the 32 municipalities of the Rio dos Sinos river basin, in Rio Grande do Sul, to create and carry out action to conserve the river that flows through one of the cities where LANXESS has its leather chemicals analysis laboratory, in São Leopoldo.
 
With the support of school authorities, this competition has been held annually since 2007 on the Internet, designed to educate and motivate students to work to boost environmental education on all fronts.
 
The contest is designed to value life and health through environmental education, developing and expanding ecological awareness, and recognizing concrete and preventative action to maintain life on the planet.
