Rochelle Park NJ, the Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey (CIANJ) traded the boardroom for the great outdoors this week. On April 22nd, 2026, CIANJ hosted an Earth Day Community Clean-Up & Team Building Event, proving that New Jersey’s business leaders are just as invested in the state’s soil as they are in its economy.
The event, held at the scenic Overpeck County Park in Bergen County, brought together a diverse coalition of professionals, volunteers, and environmental advocates.
A Partnership for a Cleaner New Jersey
Sustainability is rarely a solo mission. To ensure the event’s success, CIANJ collaborated with several key organizations dedicated to New Jersey’s environmental health:
-
United We Serve
-
New Jersey Clean Communities
-
Bergen County Department of Health Services (Division of Environmental Health)
By pooling resources, these groups turned a standard cleanup into a high-impact community day that removed litter while fostering professional connections.
Team Building with a Purpose
While the primary goal was environmental stewardship, the event served as a unique team-building exercise. Employee teams from CIANJ member companies worked side-by-side to clear debris, demonstrating that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a core value in the Garden State.
“Earth Day is a powerful reminder of the role we all play in protecting our environment,” said Anthony Russo, President of CIANJ. “We are incredibly grateful to our partners and volunteers who came together to make a meaningful difference.”
Why It Matters: The CIANJ Mission
This initiative is a prime example of the CIANJ ethos. While known for free enterprise advocacy and legislative vigilance, the association recognizes that a healthy business climate is inseparable from a healthy community.
From Rochelle Park to the furthest reaches of the state, CIANJ continues to act as a bridge between professional success and civic engagement. Whether it’s through their specialized business councils or hands-on volunteer work, they are making New Jersey a better place to live, work, and conduct business.
