How we create value
Environmental capital

A number of endemic seedlings have been planted at the hotel, including 100Dodonaea viscosa (Bois de reinette), 100 myoporum elipticum, 25 Pandanus heterocarpus (Vacoas) and 15 Latania loddigessi. We have also committed to plant one tree for each guest staying at one of our properties on the island. Additionally, Cap Tamarin Park in Mauritius is under development andwill be home to over 40,000 plants, a quarter of them endemic. At theAgribusiness cluster level, we are runninga sustainable farming programme. Several projects have been launched, including an organic market in July 2020. Training sessions andworkshops havebeendelivered to raise awareness about a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. We are currently carryingout cropcultivationatMare Longue, withdiversification intomarket gardening andorchard farm - ing.We areplanning to embark on a greenhouse andnursery project for intensive organic farming in Tamarin, where we will also develop an orchard and an asparagus farm. And last but not least, we have installed beehives in Tamarin andMare Longue toproduce organic honey andpollinate our orchards. We will thus be able to supply honeybee by-prod- ucts like pollen and propolis in the near future.
