Fostering biodiversity on our company premises

“It was important to us that we use part of our land intentionally to support species conservation and promote biodiversity,” explains Christina Fischer of System Logistics, who spearheaded the project. “Several of our employees got actively involved,” says a gratified Bernhard Reitberger, Managing Director of System Logistics GmbH.  They planted a hedge of insect and bee-friendly bushes around the perimeter of the new meadow and also built a bug hotel. The beekeepers at Zukunftbienen, an organisation that aims to ensure the continued survival of bees, then set up hives and brought in two colonies of bees.

Regular maintenance

“We finished our work in mid-April. Since then, it has been incredible to watch so many insects and bees visiting and pollinating the flowers,” says Tim Janssen, head of procurement at System Logistics. He expressed his gratitude to the municipality of Wackersdorf for its support in planning the bee pasture, emphasizing that “they provided a great deal of expertise.” Since 2014, the municipality of Wackersdorf has been maintaining designated pollinator zones, the largest of which covers a total area of 18 square kilometers along the Industriestrasse road.
