Nowadays, environmental protection has become a hot topic in the world, how to protect the environment?How to achieve sustainable development?It is not only a difficult problem for social development, but also the primary problem for enterprise development. For HAPE International Holding Group (HAPE), as a company committed to the development of high-quality environmentally friendly educational toys for school-age children around the world, it has been providing and adhering to ecological and environmentally friendly production and lifestyle, and contributing to sustainable development. The founder and president of HAPE once said, "Commitment to children is just as important as commitment to the environment. Our children will inherit the world we live in. Thanks to the founder's strong sense of social responsibility and sustainable development concept, HAPE has always adhered to the concept of environmental protection in the design and production process of toys, pursued the principle of "minimum ecological cost", and adhered to the road of sustainable development.
As for the choice of eco-friendly materials, HAPE has been working with AMORIM, a world-renowned cork producer and cork industry leader, since 2020. The so-called cork is actually the outer bark of the cork oak tree. Cork oak grows in the Mediterranean basin and has a lifespan of more than a thousand years. Obtaining cork materials only strips the outer bark of the tree without cutting down or harming the tree itself, and the cork can be harvested every nine years, which is a great gift from nature. Cork is not only biodegradable, but also absorbs carbon dioxide and slows down global warming. In recent years, AMORIM and HAPE have been working hand in hand to explore a variety of possibilities in the field of environmental protection.
In addition, hape also uses bamboo as a raw material. In 2021, HAPE established a nature exploration education base in Zhulin to provide local families with an outdoor education space close to nature. With its high quality and multiple gameplay, its HAPE Panda House luxury bamboo building made of bamboo has successively won the "2023 German Top Ten Toys", shortlisted for the "American Toy Association TOTY Award", and the "PAL Award". It not only allows children to have more intimate toys, but also conveys the concept of environmental protection to millions of families around the world.
At the same time, in the production process, HAPE is also fully promoting environmental protection. During the production process, HAPE installed solar photovoltaic panels on the roof of the factory, generating a total of about 360,000kWh of electricity per year, which can meet part of the factory's electricity consumptionAnd the current production process and technical equipment gradually implement the "energy-saving" technological transformation, tap the potential, reduce energy consumption, improve energy utilization.
I believe that in the future, HAPE will continue to adhere to the sustainable development strategy, adhere to the concept of environmental protection, and continue to contribute to the development of enterprises and social environmental protection.
