Ecological Energy

Hain Europe decided to invest in ecological energy. From October 2007 onwards, all energy used by Hain Europe in the Maldegem site will be "ecological", coming from hydropower generated in the French Alps. In the near future, Hain Europe will roll out this initiative to all European sites.
Sponsoring PROTOS project: organic farming in Ecuador
In addition to offering high quality and nourishing food, respect for man and nature is central to our company's vision. We choose to provide long-term support for a few carefully selected projects. The PROTOS project for water supply - which is being supported by Lima since 2005 - is such an example.

PROTOS is an NGO (non-governmental organisation) which dedicates itself to improving water management in developing countries. The project in Ecuador strives towards better living conditions - through the development of organic farming
activities - for some 300 farming families.

Indirectly this involves 5000 inhabitants of the Bulu-Bulu river basin, located in the Andes. In this region, which has been hit by a large wave of emigration over the last years, the project signifies an important means of support for the families that have stayed behind.

Marketing Communication Manager

"As a supplier of high-quality and nourishing foodstuffs, respect for people and the environment are the central focus of our corporate vision (an honest purchasing policy, less polluting energy, ecologically sound packaging, etc.). Today, we are happily taking it a step further and we are working on a programme to help all levels of our organisation engage in a more socially conscious manner in the future."
