Men’s Shed Bug Hotel Initiative

Posted on by ainehargadon

As part of our ESG 2024 initiatives to support biodiversity and the local community, we partnered with Ballinora Men’s Shed to create bug hotels for our projects across the Southern Region. These bug hotels provide a safe resting place for insects during their travels, especially during winter, thereby supporting the pollination cycle and biodiversity.

We were delighted to donate to the Ballinora Men’s Shed, a community-based project where men come together to learn, share skills, and make long-lasting friendships.

 

Sunflower Competition

Posted on by ainehargadon

As part of our biodiversity initiative and to support World Bee Day, we launched a ‘Grow Your Own Sunflowers’ project in March this year.

We supplied seeds to all our staff, and thanks to dedication and green thumbs, sunflowers bloomed across Irish and UK gardens. We also had project teams construct planters using recycled pallets and sow wildflowers for our bees and other pollinators to enjoy.

We are very proud of everyone who joined us in this initiative to promote biodiversity and support our pollinators who are fundamental for the health of ecosystems and food security across the globe.
