It is essential for LUMEN to engage in high-impact actions that reflect our values in terms of social and environmental responsibility. Thus, we have taken the initiative to form a partnership with an association whose objective is perfectly in line with our activity of manufacturing natural scented candles. This association, symbolized by bees and flowers, shares our commitment to a more sustainable and ethical world.
LUMEN is committed to preserving bees
At LUMEN, we believe in the need to preserve bees, essential guardians of our ecosystem and biodiversity. Although beeswax is less used in the manufacture of our candles, we are fully aware of the threats to these pollinators. This is why we have taken the responsibility to participate in the preservation of bees and their floral habitat.
Partnership for the Protection of Pollinators
Our partner is an association that works to protect pollinators, including domestic and wild bees, Diptera, butterflies and Coleoptera. Its action aims to maintain and improve the populations of these pollinators, particularly in agricultural areas where natural habitats are rare. We are convinced that by preserving bees and enriching their floral habitat, we contribute to the health of our planet.
The essential role of bees in our ecosystem
Bees play a vital role in pollination, food production and biodiversity preservation in the face of today's environmental challenges. They are not only the guardians of our environment, but also the guarantors of biodiversity and the food we consume. Without their valuable intervention, many of our plants would not be able to thrive, as they ensure pollination, a crucial process for the reproduction of plants and also fruits and vegetables. In exchange for the nectar of flowers, a source of food for these insects, bees provide diligent work and ensure the survival of many species, whether wild plants or crops intended for our food. Thus, it is imperative to recognize the importance of bees and ensure their preservation to ensure the sustainability of our environment and the food security of our planet.
Actively Contribute to Environmental Protection
Every gesture counts in our commitment to preserving the environment. For each upcycling kit sold, we donate a contribution to the association allowing the financing of seeds to rehabilitate more than 35m2 of unexploited land. We thus offer our customers the opportunity to actively participate in the protection of bees, with our box including a candle, a bag of seeds and a bag of soil.
Once the candle is completely melted, the customer can reuse the glass as a planting pot, giving a second life to the product while contributing to our mission of raising awareness and preserving our ecosystem.
At LUMEN, our commitment goes beyond simply making natural candles; it is a real social and environmental approach that is part of our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policies. Our approach integrates initiatives such as preserving pollinators, respecting our biodiversity, reducing waste and using ecological materials. We are proud to contribute to a more sustainable future, where protecting nature is at the heart of our concerns.
