PRESERVING DIFFERENTLY

SAFEGUARDING BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEMS

COMMITMENT NO. 8 - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND GENERAL INTEREST


Protecting species and natural ecosystems is a new challenge for CEPOVETT.

After introducing a bee awareness programme 10 years ago, the company is now refocusing its efforts on protecting marine and land ecosystems. Through its biodiversity conservation programmes, it is extending the scope of its initiatives to include the protection of endangered species and environmental conservation.


Restoring mangroves in Madagascar

Following on from the reforestation programme initiated by CEPOVETT/Epsilon which has been renewed until 2026, with the aim of replanting 30,000 trees each year, a new phase has been launched to support the reforestation of mangroves. In addition to replanting eucalyptus and other fruit trees, the Group has launched an operation to restore and protect mangroves, which encourage the establishment and reproduction of a wide range of aquatic species (fish and crustaceans). These rooted trees also protect coastlines from erosion and extreme weather phenomena while contributing to water quality by filtering nutrients and sediments. With their exceptional carbon capture potential, mangroves are ecosystems that help maintain biodiversity and are key to combating climate change. On a global scale, mangroves account for almost 1% of the world's tropical forests.

    "As soon as spring arrives, I am delighted to handle our beehives installed on the office roofs. It's all the more concrete as I make my own clients aware of the issues of biodiversity, showing them our Parisian apiary and tasting our honey. Who could have imagined me as an urban beekeeper between lunch and dinner on the roofs of Bercy?

    "In Madagascar, biodiversity, one of our greatest assets, is in danger. This urgency has prompted us to make a strong commitment through our reforestation program, in particular by planting fruit species, which we hope to link with the endemic bee threatened on the island."

    "This workplace chicken coop is an original idea and shows us the importance of well-being. I am delighted to be able to make my omelette with fresh eggs from the company's free-range hens. It really makes us aware of what hens eat as well as the need to combat food waste."

    "It's just incredible to imagine producing honey on the rooftops of Paris; we're welcoming nature into the city. I'm delighted to be part of this collaborative and meaningful project that highlights the importance of environmental conservation, and the responsibility the present generations have towards the future generations."

  • “Between ethics and aesthetics, art and life sciences, this innovative and meaningful initiative draws on many art disciplines to change our perception of nature. Bees are at risk of extinction, so it was obviously important for me to symbolically represent and highlight their plight and to decorate their homes by painting the walls. I thought of a panda, which is a protected species, as “a guard of the apiary”, itself acting as a protector. It carries a message of solidarity and communion between species”.
