Earth Day is an annual global event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. This year’s Earth Day theme is Invest in our Planet, highlighting the importance of dedicating our time, resources, and energy to solving climate change and other environmental issues future through collective action for change. In the lead-up to Earth Day, we shine a spotlight on the PTC Group’s Sustainability Policy and Environmental Management System (EMS) Program and share concrete steps on how all members of the PTC Group community can do their share to take care of the one planet that we all live in.
