ICT France: hives and a new range of product to protect bees
ICT France has reinforced its environmental and social responsibility by installing 4 beehives at its Pannes site, which are home to more than 160,000 bees. The aim is to make all our employees aware of a serious social problem: the disappearance of bees.
This project also echoes the new Foxy Love The Bee product range, launched in France in March 2024, which informs and warns consumers about the importance of protecting bees and biodiversity.
Let's protect the bees, together!
ICT Ibérica and the Fundación Alcoraz complete the third phase of the 'Play Your Part' programme
ICT Ibérica and the Fundación Alcoraz complete the latest phase of the 'Play Your Part' programme with plantations in Torremocha de Jarama (Madrid), Almudévar (Huesca) and Pego (Alicante), for the third edition of the project that started in 2021
ICT Ibérica's commitment to the environment is sound and strong, and these actions are a concrete demonstration of this. Nine areas have already been reforested and more than 8,000 trees planted. A project that aims to absorb CO2 through the protection or maintenance of our forests, the restoration of paths, the preservation of created green areas, the removal of weeds, soil stabilisation and fire prevention measures.
Once again, the environmental and technical aspects of the work and the development of the plantation were directed by CO2 GESTIÓN, a company specialising in the restoration of forest areas and the creation of carbon sink projects for the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITERD).
Bosques ICT Ibérica Foundation- Alcaraz. Third phase of the 'Play Your Part' programme
The third phase of the 'Play Your Part' programme was completed with the new forests of Torremocha de Jarama (Madrid), Almudévar (Huesca) and Pego (Alicante)
In the case of Torremocha de Jarama, more than 1,100 trees of the Populus nigra, Populus alba, Fraxinus angustifolica, Ulmus minor and Crataegus monogyna species were planted.
Next, it was the turn of the city of Almudévar, which, with the collaboration of the municipality and the pupils of the public school Santos Samper, planted more than a thousand Aleppo pine, Sabina, almond and olive trees, which will bring multiple environmental and social benefits to the residents of Almudévar.
Finally, to complete the third phase of the project, a new forest with more than a thousand species of Olea europea, Pinus pinea, Ceratonia siliqua and Tetraclinis articulata was planted in the city of Pego, Alicante. With this plantation, a total of 85 tonnes of carbon will be offset for the atmosphere throughout its growth and life, another help in caring for the planet and improving air quality.
ICT Ibérica celebrates its 25th anniversary
Founded on 20 May 1999 in Madrid and based in El Burgo de Ebro (Zaragoza) since 2004, it has achieved its goal in this quarter of a century: To be a leader in the tissue (fabric) industry, thanks to the quality and innovation of its products and always committed to society and the environment.
On 30 May, the first of the events to commemorate this quarter of a century took place. The institutional event organised by ICT Ibérica on the occasion of its anniversary was attended, among others, by the most representative authorities of our community, such as the president of the Parliament of Aragon, the vice-president of the government, and companies and suppliers linked to the plant.
The event started with a speech by the general director of the plant, Agustí Maronda, continued with statements by the president, José Luis Pérez Quintana, and ended with speeches by the mayor of El Burgo de Ebro, as host municipality, and the second vice-president of the Government of Aragon and regional minister of Economy, Labour and Industry, Mar Vaquero.
Participants then had the opportunity to see the most modern production centre in Southern Europe up close, with an investment of over 250 million euros spread over two phases, making it the supplier of choice for the Iberian market and the South of France. Guests at the commemorative event were able to see how a modern and innovative factory, employing more than 340 people, achieved a turnover of more than €280 million, exporting 25% of its production to France and Portugal.
A very special open day with staff, family and friends took place on Saturday 1 June. A factory tour was held to proudly show the work areas. We were also able to enjoy a day full of activities and surprises for young and old alike. Among the many proposals were workshops on caring for the planet, the importance of bees, the paper workshop, raising awareness on the importance of road safety, inflatables, face painting, food trucks, video games, and live music. It was a great day, attended by more than 1,000 people, where the whole ICT Ibérica family could blow out 25 candles in a very special way.
