Mitigating and adapting to climate change

“In Madagascar, the forests are endangered. This urgent situation has led us to step up our involvement through our reforestation programme, which began four years ago, by planting varieties of fruit trees to generate additional income for local communities. The involvement of our staff on this collaborative project has allowed us to play an active role and to stress the importance of protecting the local environment for future generations”.

My job is to measure the impact of our products, identify the levers that can be used to protect the environment and limit the effects of climate change. Gathering and using this data feeds into our eco-design approach and enables us to argue the positive impact of a proposal to the end customer.

The forest area in Madagascar is decreasing, even though a lot of money has been spent on reforestation since 1960. Today, we wish to revolutionize the way reforestation is carried out in Madagascar. Instead of a lot of unnecessary reforestation, smaller reforestation projects will be carried out with a tangible impact. Our challenge is to find land for our plantations, it's a huge job to convince farmers to reforest their land.

"It is our individual and collective responsibility to commit to the preservation of our island of Madagascar. Today, I'm proud to be planting these trees - Arbre de Vie - donated by EPSILON on our family land. In a few years' time, I hope to have some beautiful fruit to share with my family or sell on the market."

"Here on our island of Madagascar, we see the forest receding a little more every day. It is now our individual responsibility to replant ourselves. We've started reforestation on a 1.5 ha family plot in Marokobobo. We have planted 1,400 eucalyptus trees, 5 mango trees and 5 avocado trees."

"It is our individual and collective responsibility to take action to preserve our island, Madagascar. Today, I am proud to be planting these - Trees of Life - on our family's land, after being given them by the EPSILON company. In a few years, I certainly hope to have grown some nice fruit to share with my family or sell on the market."

"As an extension of our 2030 reforestation program, Cepovett is reaffirming its desire to plant near its various industrial activity zones, particularly in Madagascar and now in France. Choosing to plant in a forest in the Rhône-Alpes region is a strong symbol of a mobilisation against global warming in our field, and promotes the preservation of biodiversity."
