SEGRO's ecological solutions are among the Best Practices again
In this year's report of the Responsible Business Forum "Responsible Business in Poland 2020. Good Practices", two SEGRO initiatives supporting the environment were distinguished - beehives and hotels for insects and charging stations for electric and hybrid cars.
The developer appeared in this CSR activities list for the second year in a row.
SEGRO, a leading developer, manager and owner of modern warehouse and production space, taking care of the natural environment and taking into account the growing trend of electromobility, has equipped almost 90 percent of electric car and hybrid chargers. their logistics parks in Poland.
In turn, beehives were built in four parks: SEGRO Logistics Park Warsaw, Pruszków, SEGRO Logistics Park Poznań, Gądki, SEGRO Logistics Park Gliwice and SEGRO Industrial Park Tychy, and over half a million bees have already moved into them. The choice of location was dictated by the proximity of crops - bees pollinate as many as 3/4 of the main crops. According to preliminary estimates, the bees inhabiting SEGRO parks can produce up to 200 kilograms of honey per year.
Both SEGRO practices were appreciated by FOB in the area of "environment" - hives and hotels for insects in the "biodiversity" category were classified as a long-term practice, which appeared in the ranking for the first time last year, and charging stations for electric and hybrid vehicles were described for the first time once in the "eco-efficiency" category.
SEGRO is the only developer and owner of warehouse properties included in the list of all practices reported by 225 companies. Moreover, in February 2021, the company launched the Responsible SEGRO program, based on three long-term priorities: low carbon emissions, investing in local communities and developing talent. One of the examples of SEGRO's implementation of these goals are charging stations for electric vehicles, as well as beehives and hotels for insects. insects in SEGRO logistics parks in Poland are one of the many initiatives of our company in the field of corporate social responsibility. In order to diversify the spectrum of activities in the area of sustainable development, we focus on solutions that benefit both the natural environment and our clients, both on the economic and image level - says Waldemar Witczak, Regional Director of SEGRO.
