Partnering with
AQUASEARCH,
ENGIE collected comprehensive ecological data from Dakhla Bay, including acoustic recordings, photos, and biodiversity surveys. This data, particularly focused on bottlenose dolphins, provided invaluable insights into their behaviors and the challenges they face.
The field research in Dakhla was a dynamic and multifaceted endeavor, beginning with the strategic installation of hydrophones and cameras to capture comprehensive marine life data. The team meticulously documented dolphin sightings and acoustic data, providing invaluable insights into their communication patterns and behaviors. This rigorous analysis revealed key marine interactions, forming the foundation for the eco-badge development. Engaging with the local community, the team shared their findings and collaborated on a preliminary report, setting the stage for ongoing conservation efforts and the creation of the unique eco-badges.
Each badge designed reflects the unique characteristics of marine species or habitats, incorporating abstract patterns inspired by natural elements and the collected data, resulting in a striking collection of 12 unique artworks intricately capturing the essence of dolphin communication.
These badges are integrated into the
REAL Portal, providing employees with detailed information about the linked conservation projects and regular updates on project progress. Badge holders can track AQUASEARCH's work in Dakhla Bay and stay informed about ongoing conservation efforts. The initiative significantly boosted employee engagement, deepening their connection to ENGIE’s environmental goals, and linking employee rewards to specific conservation projects ensured measurable impact on marine biodiversity in Dakhla Bay. The project gained internal and external recognition, showcasing a scalable model for digital innovation in corporate sustainability efforts. Additionally, the initiative fostered a dialogue about reshaping environmental stewardship and understanding the pivotal role of resilient ecosystems in mitigating climate change.
