Developing the circular economy

Preserving life is a major challenge to which all companies, large and small, must respond without delay. The bee, the true sentinel of biodiversity, symbolises this shared responsibility. At our level, we are making our contribution by integrating corporate beekeeping, an approach that is both concrete and highly symbolic, in the service of biodiversity and a more regenerative economy.

Our partnership with CEPOVETT is part of a shared vision of biodiversity, rooted in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region, based on contributing to our public interest cause of saving the wild salmon of the Allier. This is a concrete example of cooperation between companies and local players to meet the challenges of protecting living things.

"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."

"Delighted to share my beekeeping experience on the roofs of Bercy with the company's employees. A collaborative, participative experience that raises awareness of the marvellous world of bees through practice."

"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”.
