Personal
LEARN ABOUT DONALDSON EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Being prepared can save lives during emergency situations. I will tour my Donaldson facility to identify where the AED/Emergency Kits are located.
Personal
Exercise Daily
Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 10 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.
Take the Pre-Survey
Take the Pre-Event Survey
I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)
Work and Organizations
Celebrate Successes Together
Celebrating achievements helps teams endure challenges. I will help organize ways to celebrate group or individual successes in my organization to build morale and resilience.
Soil and Food
Eat Local and Seasonal Foods
Local and seasonal foods require fewer resources, support nearby farmers, and keep soils healthier through diverse planting. I will source 3 meals per week from local or seasonal producers—such as markets, CSAs, or co-ops—to strengthen community food resilience.
Water
Mulch the Base of Trees and Plants
Mulching helps soil hold water and reduces runoff. I will mulch the base of trees or other plants at home, school, or in my community to improve water retention and soil health.
Community
Attend a Local Event
Local events such as farmers' markets, festivals, or community meetings like town halls are great ways to feel part of a community. I will attend 3 community events to connect with others and learn more about my area.
Work and Organizations
Energy Efficiency in Action at Donaldson
Reducing energy use is the foundation of Donaldson’s decarbonization strategy. I will watch the video on this link to learn about energy efficiency opportunities and examples across our sites and submit a reflection through the reflection form in the Sharepoint link
Work and Organizations
Read Donaldson's FY25 Sustainability Report
Donaldson recently published their FY25 Sustainability Report, highlighting how we are embedding sustainability into the way we operate. I will review the FY25 Sustainability Report and a complete a short quiz to test my knowledge of Donaldson's sustainable practices.
