ELIE BLEU, Committed company
Since 2019 Elie Bleu has been committed to taking action and fighting against global warming. We seek to reduce our CO2 emissions by acting on all facets of our businesses. We also offset our emissions by planting a tree for each Elie Bleu product sold. Our forests are planted by NAUDET nurseries which has been supporting Elie Bleu since 2019.
The effects of reforestation?
1- Protective role
Reforestation provides multiple protective functions:
- Mildening of the local climate
- Water regularization and purification
- Protection of soils against erosion due to water or wind
- Consolidation of banks and embankments
- Building protection
2- Landscape assets
Isolated, in bouquets, or in alignment, trees are part of the landscape:
- They integrate homes into the landscape and hide certain installations
- They brighten up the landscape thanks to their flowering, their seasonal colors and the many varied species they shelter.
3- Production role
- Wood production
A renewable raw material, yet in short supply in many countries, wood has essential economic and social importance. Wood can be used for the production of lumber (carpentry, sawing), utility wood (poles, stakes, poles), or industrial wood (crushing, papermaking), and firewood.
- Associated productions
In addition to wood, afforestation also provides numerous associated products: fruits (apple, pear, cherry, chestnut, hazelnut, olive, walnut, etc.), mushrooms, snails, medicinal plants, honey, etc.
4- Improvement of biodiversity
Trees and groves contribute to the balance between plant and animal species and constitute valuable biological reserves.
They can promote the farmer's natural auxiliaries (ladybugs that destroy aphids, pollinating insects) and the micro-organisms responsible for soil fertility.
5- Improvement of agricultural production
Agricultural yields and the quality of grassland or crops are improved under the shelter of certain forest edges and windbreaks. Furthermore, afforestation and windbreak hedges act on three levels on animals: state of health, direct and indirect protection of livestock.
6- Social impacts
The tree outside the forest offers aesthetic advantages in regions of large crops where the monotony is broken by their shapes and colors.
The calm and relaxation of wooded rural environments give them a social and cultural role to promote: fruit and mushroom picking, green tourism, sporting activities.
