Supporting Biodiversity Through Beekeeping
Nestled within a vast parkland in Poisy (Haute-Savoie, France)—and just 50 m from the forest—our site is far more than a production facility; it’s a living ecosystem. In April 2025, we strengthened this connection to nature by welcoming four beehives to our grounds, in partnership with Un Rêve d’Abeilles.
These industrious pollinators play a vital role in supporting biodiversity, and we couldn’t help but be inspired by their remarkable organization and tireless dedication.
This initiative marks the beginning of a beautiful collaboration and perfectly complements Baikowski’s broader CSR commitments. From long-term environmental stewardship and reducing water & gas consumption, to emissions control and industrial-waste recycling, these hives are a natural extension of our responsible practices.
The installation of these four beehives is a new milestone in this journey—and we’re already looking forward to the sweet rewards of this collaboration.
