Protecting plants and increasing the biodiversity in our immediate environment should be on the action list of all businesses that are committed to becoming more sustainable. In simple terms, this means helping restore and regenerate nature in our vicinity by planting trees, plants or by creating small scale wildlife habitats (e.g., rockpiles, bird feeders, beehives, etc.). As an example, we recently planted lavender in our large parking lot. Once it blossoms, lavender will add a touch of life to it while also improving our immediate environment and making a small contribution to biodiversity. How come? Well, lavender is an important plant for pollinating insects which in turn play a crucial role in the reproduction of plants and consecutively the ecosystem as a whole. The planting of lavender is also symbolic gesture that builds on our vision of making a real difference. Imagine the ripple effect we could collectively make if every single one of us, planted a plant, no matter how small, somewhere out in nature or in a dull parking lot? And in case anyone is wondering, planting trees and increasing biodiversity is not used as a mean to offset emissions at Wellspect. This is a small and unconditional contribution to nature, which we often take for granted.

Today marks International Day for Biodiversity, an initiative of the UN Environment Program dedicated to celebrating and protecting the variety of life on Earth. Biodiversity is crucial for maintaining ecological balance, but it faces significant threats from human activities worldwide. As a family business, we want to contribute to a better world, to pass on a more flourishing business to future generations. Therefore, we strive to maintain and improve biodiversity surrounding our locations. In Lieshout, we have been collaborating with IVN (Institute for Nature Education and Sustainability) for many years. They monitor the development of nature on our property and maintain the swallow wall. Each year we see more of these beautiful birds building their nests in the fresh sand. We also have five bee colonies on our brewery grounds. As the bees search for nectar and pollen, they pollinate flowers of various plant species. In turn, the plants and their fruits provide a food source for other animals around our brewery. Want to learn more about our circularity ambition and results achieved?

Protecting biodiversity is not a choice, but a duty to safeguard our shared heritage. As stewards of this planet, it falls upon us to take action and preserve the rich tapestry of life that surrounds us. Individuals and businesses alike have a crucial role to play in this endeavor. By prioritizing sustainable practices and embracing conservation efforts, we can ensure that future generations inherit a world teeming with diverse ecosystems and thriving species." Here's how people and businesses can contribute: Support Conservation Initiatives: Engage in local conservation projects and initiatives that protect habitats and species diversity. Adopt Sustainable Practices: Reduce your ecological footprint by adopting eco-friendly habits such as recycling, reducing waste, and minimizing carbon emissions. Promote Biodiversity Awareness: Educate others about the importance of biodiversity and the impact of human activities on ecosystems. Invest in Responsible Business Practices: Integrate biodiversity considerations into business operations, supply chains, and product development processes. Collaborate for Impact: Partner with conservation organizations, governments, and communities to implement effective biodiversity protection measures.

Happy International Day of Biodiversity! 🌿🌸🐝🦋⁠ International Day for Biodiversity is celebrated every year on 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟮. This year, the theme of the International Day for Biological Diversity is "𝗕𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻." As we celebrate the beauty and diversity of our planet's flora and fauna, it's important to remember that despite all our technological advances, we are utterly dependent on healthy and vibrant ecosystems for our water, food, medicines, clothing, fuel, shelter and energy, among other more. Therefore, our collective responsibility to protect and preserve them for future generations is critical. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: 🐝 Growing plants (especially bee-friendly plants) invites more biodiversity! When bees move from flower to flower, this helps plants reproduce through pollination which in turn, preserves biodiversity. 🚶♀️ On walks in the park or hikes on trails, stick to the path! It’s important to respect the local wildlife and biodiversity by allowing it to thrive with little human interference, like refraining from picking flowers, littering, and trampling wild plants. 🛒 When shopping for anything, especially food and clothing, research and support brands that value sustainability and biodiversity. Let's commit to preserving biodiversity for a healthier, more resilient and sustainable future for all. #TalkToTalia #BiodiversityDay #IDB2024 #SustainableFuture #SaveOurPlanet #WildlifeConservation 📷 Shutterstock / Linda George

Today more than ever, protecting biodiversity is a priority for our planet. In collaboration with Apicoluraurbana, we are proud to protect approximately 180,000 bees in the three hives installed in the green areas around our company. This initiative is an integral part of our Macron4ThePlanet project, which represents our commitment to greater environmental sustainability. Recently, we opened the doors of our Campus to family and friends, offering them the opportunity to participate in workshops organized by Apicoluraurbana. These workshops delved into topics related to bees, raising awareness about the importance of these insects to the ecosystem. Adopting hives is not just a symbolic choice but a concrete action to contribute to the protection of biodiversity. We are convinced that every small gesture can make a difference, and we are committed to doing our part for a greener and more sustainable future. #Macron4ThePlanet #WorldBeeDay #Sustainability #Biodiversity #Bees #Environment #SustainableDevelopment #BeecomeYourOwnHero

🌿🌎 Today we celebrate World Earth Day, which invites us to reflect on the importance of conservation and environmental sustainability. This year's theme, "Planet vs. Plastic," highlights the impact of plastics on the environment.  Recent studies have shown that microplastics affect plants and flowers, reducing their ability to attract important pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Thanks to our scientific partner 3Bee, we have joined the Oases of Biodiversity project, spaces dedicated to protecting local biodiversity and pollinating insects.  At 3Bee Oases, technology allows us to collect valuable data on the health of the surrounding ecosystem, helping to promote the importance of biodiversity conservation. #WorldEarthDay #Biodiversity #Environment
