RAISE AWARENESS DIFFERENTLY
RALLYING FOR BIODIVERSITY
COMMITMENT N°8 - SOCIETAL AND GENERAL INTEREST
We’re well aware of the plight of the bees, so now the various CEPOVETT sites are home to a collection of hives that can be found near their premises.
This initiative allows our employees to experience our quest for biodiversity first hand. The programme raises awareness of the relationship between nature and the urban environment and is the symbolic guiding principle of the solid commitment the company is making. Bees are an environmental indicator, raising awareness among our stakeholders and thus pushing them towards taking action.
Bringing salmon back to the Allier River
CEPOVETT, historically established in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region of France, wishes to play its part in safeguarding biodiversity in its area.
The Company namely supports the project for reintroducing salmon into the Allier River. In recent years, the topographical change of the river and the construction of a 20-metre high power dam had hindered the reproduction of this endemic species. To preserve the Loire-Allier strain of Atlantic salmon, the last existing in Europe capable of swimming thousands of kilometres to reach the ocean, local authorities, EDF (the French electricity operator) and environmental associations joined together and, in 2019, initiated an 18 million euro project to rebuild a tailor-made dam to make it much easier for these migratory fish to pass through. As salmon reveals the quality of water, this large-scale project is part of an overall initiative for protecting rivers, the ocean and life that CEPOVETT is committed to.
