Fuso New Zealand pulled on pink shirts to raise money and join the movement against bullying.
It was part of the annual Pink Shirt Day on October 16 that brings people together across Aotearoa to take action against bullying and raise funds to support the kaupapa.
“There is no excuse for bullying in our society and principals in business, education and other social organisations need to show leadership and guidance to eradicate it,” Fuso New Zealand managing director Kurtis Andrews says.
“We take a zero tolerance approach to bullying in our work places. One of our key business mantras is that every person goes home safe every day; that not only means free from physical injury, it means free from mental and emotional harm as well,” Andrews says.
Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 and is now recognised annually around the globe. It started when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a peer was bullied for wearing a pink shirt.
