CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP | Capelec is partnering with a reforestation campaign

Capelec has joined forces with the ONF for a project to rehabilitate a 3-hectare plot of land burnt in the Gardiole massif, between Sète and Montpellier.

The aim is to accelerate the natural process of soil recolonisation and restore the biodiversity of this local heritage.

Through a consortium of five SMEs based in Montpellier, Capelec was keen to join this eco-friendly and socially responsible project with strong local roots. It is important for the company to contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and to combat global warming.

This is a large-scale project, the preparation for which took many months:

- surveying the existing vegetation

- marking out the site

- clearing and creating planting pits

Ultimately, this project aims to fulfil three objectives:

- to aid the reforestation of the area,

- encourage the growth of deciduous species less susceptible to fire (arbutus, ash, holm oak, olive, almond, St Lucia cherry, stone pine, maple, etc.)

- store carbon

Five companies are behind this project: Aromandise, Diadom, APF entreprises 34, Annealsys and Capelec, all keen to contribute to the preservation of the biodiversity of their local heritage and to commit to a sustainable development approach.
