Mercury has once again proven that teamwork and dedication can drive meaningful change. By raising an incredible €64,080 for Movember this year, they not only surpassed our ambitious €50,000 target but also earned the title of the winner of the Movember Construction Challenge. And to further support the effort, Mercury has donated an additional sum to bring the total to €100,000.
This remarkable achievement highlights their commitment to contributing positively to the world. Movember, a leading organisation focused on men’s health, tackles critical issues such as mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. With men 3-4 times more likely to die by suicide and construction largely a male dominated industry, Mercury are committed to raising awareness and working together to break down stigmas in the industry.
For the second year in a row, Mercury has partnered with Movember, uniting employees across their European projects to take on various challenges and activities. From running and swimming events to bake sales, quiz nights and other creative fundraising initiatives, every effort has made an impact and helped achieve their goal.
This success was built on the collective energy and creativity of Mercury’s employees, with a particularly strong contribution from our Paris team. Athletic challenges like running and swimming served not only as fitness goals, but also as opportunities to connect with colleagues and rally support for the cause. Meanwhile, social events provided a platform to engage the broader community, spreading awareness and encouraging participation.
Commenting, Meabh Gleeson, EHS Lead and key driver of the campaign said “Our team’s dedication to this cause has been nothing short of inspiring. This achievement is a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together. Our success isn’t just measured in euros raised- it’s also about the awareness we’ve created and the collective team environment we’ve fostered with this campaign. The incredible amount we’ve raised will go a long way in supporting vital programs championed by Movember. I couldn’t be prouder of our team for coming together to make such a significant impact.”
Mercury is committed to a future where fewer men face these challenges in silence. They are already looking ahead to next year’s challenge, determined to keep the momentum going and continue making a positive impact on our people and the broader community.
