Embracing Health and Sustainability: SilverRail’s Step Challenge and No Meat May 2024

At SilverRail, we believe in fostering a healthy lifestyle by encouraging our employees to engage in regular physical activity, make mindful dietary choices, and adopt wellness practices that enhance their overall well-being. At the same time, we are deeply committed to contributing positively to our planet by implementing sustainable practices, reducing our environmental footprint, and supporting initiatives that promote a healthier, greener world.

This May, we combined these values in our annual fitness/step challenge, encouraging our employees to run, dance, skip, swim, weight train or take up any other form of exercise they wished. To add an extra layer of excitement, participants were able to earn bonus points for each day they went meat-free in May. While participation in No Meat May was not mandatory for the challenge, it was highly encouraged as a way to score additional points and contribute to our environmental goals.
