The Barbados National Energy Company Limited (BNECL) continues to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship with a meaningful staff activity at Coco Hill Forest. Team members participated in a tree-planting exercise and a self-guided hike through the lush, eco-sensitive grounds of Coco Hill, reinforcing the company’s pledge to foster a healthier environment and promote staff wellness.
This initiative is part of BNECL’s broader Sustainability Programme, which focuses on multiple objectives aimed at reducing environmental impact, supporting biodiversity and promoting the well-being of employees. The activity directly aligned with two key pillars of the programme:
Speaking on the event, Marketing & Public Relations Officer, Samantha Hazlewood-Ermay stated, “This initiative is a reflection of BNECL’s belief that sustainability starts from within. By providing opportunities for our team to engage with and give back to the environment, we’re not only supporting national biodiversity efforts but also fostering a culture of wellness and environmental responsibility amongst our staff.”
Coco Hill Forest, known for its rich biodiversity and conservation efforts, provided an ideal setting for the activity, allowing staff to experience the natural beauty of Barbados while contributing to the island’s sustainability goals.
