11.06.2024 Award for “Blühender Betrieb” (Blooming Company)

11.06.2024, Töging. Spangler has been awarded the “Blühender Betrieb” (Blooming Company) award. The prize was presented in recognition of the company’s active commitment of biodiversity and environmental protection on its premises, marking significant recognition for its sustainable efforts within the framework of the “Blühpakt Bayern” (Bavarian Blooming Pact).

Managing Director Tina Lambert, who continues her family’s legacy, considers this project a heartfelt mission: “Participating in the Blühpakt Bayern is a commitment to future generations. We want to provide our employees with a sustainable workplace, not just for the present, but see today’s award as a progress report. In the future, we will implement additional measures to promote biodiversity.”

Mayor Bernd Mayr emphasized Spangler’s role model function for the Dietfurt municipality: “After the town of Dietfurt was already honored by the Blühpakt Bayern, we are pleased that Spangler now receives this distinction. We hope this model will inspire other local companies to follow similar paths.”

Dagmar Schmitt from the Bavarian State Ministry for Environment and Consumer Protection highlighted the urgency of environmental action: “Species extinction is one of the greatest threats to our global community. Initiatives like Spangler’s significantly contribute to protecting biodiversity and securing our livelihoods. It is important to develop a new understanding of environmental protection – an insect-friendly meadow is by no means neglected, but rather a sign of responsibility.”

The project includes the creation and maintenance of blooming meadows, the planting of fruit trees, and the establishment of habitats for bees and lizards on the company’s premises in the Altmühltal Nature Park. Through these measures, Spangler actively supports the ecological balance. In line with their commitment to promoting sustainable practices, numerous initiatives have been implemented on the company’s premises with the enthusiastic support of employees:

• Fruit trees and blooming meadows provide habitat and food for a variety of species.
• Beehives support the ecological balance through pollination.
• Lizard mounds offer protected breeding areas.
• Insect hotels and deadwood create habitats for insects and microorganisms.
• Bird protection hedges and a pond promote biodiversity and serve as natural windbreaks and privacy screens.

For years, Spangler has been using geothermal and photovoltaic systems for energy production, significantly reducing their CO2 footprint. Since its founding, Spangler has been committed to innovative solutions that both protect the environment and improve working conditions for employees.

At the event, contributions from Regens Wagner were also recognized, whose “Green Thumb” team played a key role in the design and maintenance of the green spaces. Franz Hausner and Jürgen Mödl informed guests about the importance of such projects for companies’ social and environmental responsibility.

As a token of appreciation, each guest received a jar of freshly bottled SPANGLER honey, produced by the company’s own bee colonies.
