🐝 Yesterday We Celebrated World Bee Day: SKIDATA’s Beekeeping Achievements 🌍 As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we're buzzing with excitement to share an update on our very own bee colonies at our headquarters. In 2019, we embarked on a journey into the world of beekeeping right here at the SKIDATA site. Since then, our two thriving beehives have not only supported local biodiversity but also produced approximately 25 kg of blossom honey last year. This sweet success was shared with our team through our sandwich spread campaign, combining deliciousness with awareness about the importance of bees. 🐝 Did you know? - A single bee colony can consist of up to 50,000 bees and produce over 20 kg of honey in a good year. - Bees play a crucial role in pollinating the plants that feed the planet, yet they face numerous threats that reduce their numbers. Let's all take a moment to appreciate these hardworking pollinators who play such a vital role in our ecosystem. We're proud to contribute to their preservation and share the benefits of their hard work with our community. Join us in celebrating the unsung heroes of our environment. Here's to many more years of beekeeping and broader environmental stewardship! 🌼 #BeeTheChange #WorldBeeDay #Sustainability #CSR ------------------------------------------ [ 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 ] if you like this post [ 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 ] if you have a suggestion or additional insight [ 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 ] if you are in a rush

🌱 Building a silent rewilding revolution with LettsSafari 🌍 It’s been great being Co-Chair for LettsSafari and spreading the word about rewilding. We’ve been working hard in restoring biodiversity, tackling climate change and inspiring communities globally. We’re just getting started, but here are four personal highlights from an impactful year: 1️⃣ Rewilding Expansion: We’ve now planted 2,000+ trees and support 150+ endangered animal species. We’ve seen our first Nightingale and, at the same time, healthy increases in our birds of prey. Plus we’ve successful protected black fallow deer across our parks. 🌳🦌 2️⃣ Community Education: Our “Create Your Very Own Safari Garden” series empowered individuals to transform gardens into urban wildlife havens, promoting biodiversity from backyards to city streets. 🐝🌸 3️⃣ Global Advocacy: Celebrating World Rewilding Day, we spotlighted projects like Derby’s Allestree Park and the Tower of London moat transformation, inspiring wider urban rewilding. 🏞️🏰 4️⃣ Art Meets Sustainability: In celebration of Earth Day 2024, we emphasised the significance of combating plastic pollution and embracing nature restoration by creatively showcasing sculptures made from recycled plastic bottles in our Capability Brown gardens 🎨♻️ Looking ahead to 2025, we aim to expand our reach - spreading the LettsSafari approach to more communities, gardens, and even countries! 🌍✨ 👉 Join the revolution! We need your support to help in our expansion (it’s just £4.50 a month!): Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eda6y7gz #Rewilding #Biodiversity #NatureRestoration #LettsSafari #Sustainability _________________________________________________________________ LettsSafari is all about collective impact through low-cost subscriptions. For every 10 subscribers we plant a 5 year old, naturally grown tree annually, every hundred subscribers support the introduction of new wild animals each year and every 10,000 subscribers we add a whole new safari park a year.

🌍 Celebrating Environment Day at Thillais 🌿 Back in 2007, when we started our new plant (Unit - 2) approximately 4-5 km from our head branch, the land was barren. Today, it's a green oasis, filled with trees, plants, and the joyful sounds of birds chirping. This transformation gives us immense pleasure and pride. Starting with planting 300 neem trees, our journey towards greening this land continued between 2014 and 2020 with an additional 400 trees, and from 2021 to 2023, we planted another 200 saplings. Today, alongside our buildings and people, we stand strong with approximately 900 well-grown trees and 200 curry leaf plants. This lush greenery has become a home to many birds and small animals. We are proud to say we have restored 5 acres of desertified land to vibrant green cover. This achievement demonstrates how small steps can create big impacts. Our commitment to the environment goes beyond planting trees. We save 1 lakh litres of water using our rainwater tank, ensuring groundwater for all trees and plants. The stored water is also used in our RO process, providing natural drinking water for our needs and reusing the RO water for irrigation, ensuring zero wastage. Some might think it’s just about planting trees and storing water, but it’s much more. It’s about spreading awareness, improving air quality, and instilling a sense of responsibility in our employees. When they see and participate in these activities, they feel the power of Mother Nature and pass this wisdom to younger generations. while the impact of climate change is around the news like fire we are proud to build this HABIT among our employees. A single person can't change the whole world, but a group of dedicated hands can make a significant difference. We are proud to be making that change. Share your environmental activities in the comments below. Let's spread motivation today and inspire others to take action, whether big or small. 🌱 🌳💧 #EnvironmentDay #Sustainability #GreenInitiative #Thillais #EcoFriendly #GreenCover #WaterConservation #CommunityImpact #thillais #landrestoration

To bee, or not to bee? That is the question! World Bee Day, celebrated on May 20, highlights the vital role bees play in pollination and sustaining biodiversity. Bees are tiny environmental superheroes, but their populations are declining. World Bee Day gives us a chance to show our appreciation and take action to support bees. But did you know your workplace can be a bee haven too? With little to no effort you can take small steps that will contribute to the well-being of bees population and pollination. Here’s how you can support bees from your workplace: 🐝 1. Create a Bee-Friendly Space: Add potted plants or a small garden with bee-friendly flowers like lavender, sunflowers, and marigolds. 🐝 2. Reduce Pesticides: Avoid using pesticides on office plants; opt for natural pest control methods. 🐝 3. Install Bee Hotels: Provide shelter for solitary bees by setting up bee hotels in green areas or near windowsills. 🐝 4. Raise Awareness: Share information about the importance of bees and how to protect them through internal newsletters or social media. 🐝 5. Support Local Beekeepers: Purchase honey and other bee products from local, sustainable sources. 🐝 6. Consider dedicating a small space for a native beehive (with proper research). This can be a great educational opportunity! 🐝 7. Organize a volunteer day to plant trees or clean up a local park. Every bit helps create a bee-friendly world! #WorldBeeDay #bees #Environment

🐝 Bee-ing Green at Shangri-La Sydney 🐝🌿 Did you know that since 2013, we’ve been cultivating a buzzing community right here on our rooftop? With up to 10 beehives and a thriving population of 90,000 bees, our rooftop has become a sanctuary for these incredible pollinators. Over the years, our bees have produced an impressive 7-10 tons of honey, which we proudly use in our kitchens and share with our guests. It’s a true hive-to-table experience that brings the freshest, most sustainable honey to your plate. 🍯 But it’s not just about the honey—these industrious bees are essential to the local ecosystem, helping pollinate plants and support biodiversity. At Shangri-La Sydney, we’re committed to supporting these hardworking creatures and raising awareness of their crucial role in our environment. #Sustainability #Beekeeping #LocalHoney #ShangriLaSydney #HiveToTable #EcoFriendly #Pollination #GreenInitiative

🐝🌼 Happy World Bee Day!    Today we are buzzing with bee-tastic Facts - Let's spread the buzz together!   Did you know that bees are not only essential for pollination but also have some fascinating quirks?   🌍 Pollination Powerhouses: Bees are the unsung heroes of pollination, responsible for fertilizing countless plants, flowers, and crops worldwide. Without them, our ecosystems would not just struggle, but they would cease to thrive. It's a responsibility we all share to protect these vital creatures. 🌸 Dance of the Bees: Ever heard of the waggle dance? It's a unique behavior performed by honeybees to communicate the location of food sources to their hive mates. Talk about teamwork! 🌱 Superorganism Society: A honeybee hive functions like a well-oiled machine, with each member playing a crucial role in maintaining the colony's health and productivity. It's a true example of teamwork and collaboration. 🏢 Buzzing with Sustainability: At ATALIAN Global Services Croatia, we're as busy as bees when it comes to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Our integrated facilities management solutions not only prioritize the well-being of our planet, but they also align with your values, giving you the reassurance that we're all working towards a greener future. 🌿 Committed to the Cause: Just like bees tirelessly nurture their hive, we're passionately dedicated to creating a sustainable and thriving world for future generations.

🌍🐝 Happy Bee Day! Celebrating the tiny giants of our ecosystem 🐝🌍 A beehive was installed on the roof of the CARGO building in Canary Wharf this week, home to #EuronextLondon’s new office. Today, on Bee Day, we celebrate this initiative and the vital role that bees play in our ecosystem. These industrious pollinators are responsible for the health of our flora and the productivity of many crops. Without them, the world would face significant challenges in maintaining biodiversity and food security. #EuronextParis has been home to a thriving set of beehives for 13 years. Here’s why urban beehives matter: - Green spaces in cities: rooftop beehives contribute to urban greening efforts, promoting ecological balance within city environments. - Education and awareness: they provide a platform for educating the public and employees about the importance of bees and the need for sustainable practices. - Supporting local ecosystems: these hives help sustain local bee populations, which in turn support the pollination of urban plants and gardens. Happy Bee Day to all! #BeeDay #Sustainability #Biodiversity #UrbanBeekeeping Euronext #Pollinators

Gowling WLG celebrates World Bee Day with Beebombs: Nurturing Native Wildflowers and Supporting Pollinators 🌼🐝 This week we’re marking World Bee Day by distributing Beebombs to our employees and visiting guests at our UK offices. As part of our Nature Plan, we use Beebombs as nature-positive corporate gifts to encourage everyone to cultivate native wildflowers - ideal for supporting bees and other pollinators. Each bomb is packed with 18 species of wildflowers identified by the RHS as 'Perfect for Pollinators' to help us #bringthebeesback 🐝 Why Bees Matter: 🐝 Biodiversity and Environmental Balance: Bees play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and diverse ecosystems. 🐝 Food Security: Pollinators ensure the production of nutrient-rich foods we rely on. 🐝 Sustainable Farming: Bee-pollinated crops contribute significantly to global agriculture. 🐝 Ecosystem Health: Bees benefit not only plants but also humans and wildlife. 🐝 Conservation: Protecting pollinators is crucial as wild bee populations decline due to disease, habitat loss, and climate change. Protecting bees is vital for a healthy planet and sustainable food systems, and we are wishing for World Bee Day celebrations around the globe to be a buzzing success! 🌼🐝

Happy #WorldBeeDay and congratulations to our partner Stadtbienen (“City Bees”) on their 10-year anniversary! Together, we set up bee boxes with two bee colonies at a school here in Berlin. This program helps to raise awareness and develop an appreciative approach to the environment. Children discover the world of bees, learn about ecological correlations, and understand the importance of #biodiversity. But is a bustling city like #Berlin an appropriate habitat for #bees? Absolutely! Urban areas can offer diverse food sources for bees due to the variety of flowers found in parks, gardens, and on balconies. While the countryside provides vast natural spaces, urban environments often present a broader range of plant species, offering bees a rich and varied diet. Concerns about urban honey being less healthy due to pollution are unfounded as studies have shown that honey from #citybees is just as nutritious and safe as honey from rural bees. Moreover, some people are concerned that urban bees might be dangerous. However, when managed properly, bees are generally non-aggressive and pose little threat to humans. Everyone can contribute to protecting bees and other pollinators. Planting different species of flowers in your garden or on your balcony and putting a flat bowl of water outside for the bees to drink and cool down are simple ways to help. At CLR, we are proud to #BeeEngaged and support urban #beekeeping initiatives. The UN World Bee Day reminds us that everyone can make a difference to support, restore, and enhance the role of bees. #citybees #Stadtbienen #WorldBeeDay2024 #sustainability #csr
