Throughout its long history, EBV has always been committed to environmental protection. In 2008, it set up the ECOmiseIT™ project and has implemented dozens of tangible activities and green investments since then. This year, we’re announcing a new initiative designed to raise awareness among our staff and partners about the protection of bees. Further actions will follow over the course of the next few months.
Our long-term partners support our activities: Broadcom, Infineon, NXP, onsemi, STMicroelectronics, Toshiba and Vishay. With our new hashtags #EBVforEnvironment and #EBVsavestheBees, we’ll keep our stakeholders updated on our progress in our eco-initiatives, especially the bee project.
Why bees? Quite simply because they’re essential to mankind’s future – but are already endangered. According to Greenpeace: “70 out of the top 100 human food crops — which supply about 90% of the world’s nutrition — are pollinated by bees.” No bees means no food – or too little for the earth’s population.
That’s why we’re taking concrete action to protect them. At EBV’s headquarters in Poing, near Munich, we’ve reserved a space for flower meadows with insect hotels, which provide food and shelter for wild bees. These should be operational soon. We’re also working with the local beekeeper association in Poing to build a bee house that will provide better weather protection for the beehives.
