Answers to your questions
-
How does this solution contribute to a tenant engagement program that includes ESG-specific issues?
Alvéole’s programming answers to the tenant engagement standards defined by GRESB. These include communications tools, an online platform for tenants, and tenant events focused on increasing ESG awareness.
To further your community engagement, Alvéole donates 1% of the profits from your bee program to a local environmental non-profit as part of the 1% for the Planet program.
-
Do tenants need to be able to access the hive installation site?
Not necessarily. The engagement value of the program does not require close proximity to the hive. Of course, when the hive is accessible, tenants are welcome to observe their beekeeper during hive inspections.
All packages include remote or in-person workshops to form a connection between people and the bees, as well as access to an online, public-facing platform to share the program with your community.
-
What kind of team building activities and special events do you offer?
We offer a variety of interactive, hands-on, and educational workshops, which can be delivered in-person or remotely. Learn more about our workshops here.
