🌟 On June 5, 2024, we had the privilege of hosting the 𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗜 𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 & 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗣𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 at Spiecapag’s Brisbane head office. Chaired by General Manager (Health, Safety and Plant), Phil Woodhouse, the meeting brought together representatives from Spiecapag’s sister companies including Chris Fagan from Sixense Oceania, Mijo Matesa from The Reinforced Earth Company Australia and New Zealand, and Olaf Duwer from Menard. The objective of the meeting was clear: to foster collaboration and innovation within the VINCI family. Discussions focused on the challenges faced by the various VINCI entities across Oceania, the sharing of insights on successful systems and processes, and the exploration of solutions that can be applied universally. These meetings aren't just about sharing knowledge; they're about driving real change. By learning from each other, we strengthen our commitment to health, safety, and excellence in everything we do. Here's to more fruitful collaborations and positive outcomes ahead! 🚀 #VINCI #HealthandSafety #Collaboration #Innovation #buildbettertogether

🌱 Community Champion Spotlight: Mike Paporo on Sustainable Bush Harvesting 🌱 Last week, we introduced you to Natasha, a student whose research is making waves in our community. Today, we shift our focus to a key community member, Mike Paporo, whose insights are helping us rethink the way we interact with our environment. 🪓 Sustainable Bush Harvesting: Mike Paporo has become a local expert on harvesting encroacher bushes in a way that respects and preserves our ecosystem. He stresses the importance of not cutting these bushes recklessly but instead adopting sustainable methods that ensure long-term benefits. “It’s not just about clearing the land; it’s about doing it right,” Mike says. 🌍 Turning Challenges into Opportunities: Mike’s efforts don’t stop at sustainability. He’s also playing a pivotal role in the local market with the success of fencing poles derived from encroacher bushes. These poles are not only meeting local demand but are also gaining popularity, creating a new income stream for the community. This initiative is transforming a challenge into an opportunity, showing the true potential of what our land can offer. 📈 Local Market Success: The rise of these fencing poles is a testament to what can be achieved when we combine sustainable practices with innovative thinking. Mike’s work is proving that sustainable harvesting can benefit both the environment and the economy, paving the way for a brighter future for our community. Stay tuned as we continue to highlight the incredible work being done within our community. Together, we’re not just imagining a better future—we’re building it, one step at a time. #CommunityImpact #SustainableHarvesting #BushValueChain #Namibia #InnovationInAction #LocalMarketSuccess This project is proudly supported by the Mastercard Foundation through the RUFORUM Network, in collaboration with the University of Namibia, Okakarara Vocational Training Center, and the African Wild Dog Conservancy. https://lnkd.in/gv6AsD8K
