19 Hello ES Leads, I wanted to share a picture of the brand new ebike which arrived at Microsoft Finland yesterday. I teamed up with the XBOX team and they helped me to pimp up the bike and it s now XBOX green. Thanks to the Carbon Fund for making this possible an helping us to increase environmental awareness in our sub. We will launch the bike in our social media channels within a few weeks. We have set our annual Biker s Day for the beginning of March. The idea of that day is to challenge our employees to come to the office in an emission-free manner either by bike, foot, running, and the employees who take on the challenge will be offered a delicious breakfast in our lobby. We will also be offering spring services to the employees bikes at a reasonable price. Kind regards from Finland, Stella 19
