Waste collection projects improve employment and environment in Mali

Bamako, Mali, … January 2017

Despite the lack of adequate infrastructure in the remote regions of Mali, where Ecolog is mostly operating, including Tessalit, Kidal, Menaka and Doentza, Ecolog has been performing remarkably well and is making a positive impact with its environmental services.

With waste collection and recycling projects in ten different locations across the country, Ecolog services have not only improved the physical environment and the living conditions of the inhabitants but also created jobs: in 2016, over 80 local employees were dedicated solely to Ecolog’s waste collection and management projects.
The mission also requires equipment assets and vehicle, as the waste is collected by a fleet of sixteen waste collection trucks and then delivered to nine specially constructed waste incinerators, for appropriate treatment according to international standards.

Ecolog started delivering its services in Mali to the various peacekeeping missions of the United Nations, including MINUSMA and UNOPS and NATO in 2014. Since then, the total number of jobs created for local people have increased from over 180 in 2014 to more than 280 people in 2016.

Furthermore, every Ecolog employee is trained and receives education to perform according to international quality and safety standards. These learning experiences will be beneficial for their future careers as well and will enable them to share this knowledge ‘at home’ to improve their standards of living.

Local companies also benefit from the presence of Ecolog as the number of local vendors has been increasing consistently year by year. Since the start of the mission in 2014, close to 150 different companies have been involved in supplying a broad variety of products and services such as transportation, supply of various goods and material, from food, water and medical supplies to spare parts and fuel. From 2014 to 2016, over 37 millions of US dollars were spent on locally procured goods, materials and services, thereby contributing to the economy of Mali.

Overall, Ecolog is present in 20 locations across the country, with headquarters in Bamako, and provides a broad range of services to more than 12,000 people of the peacekeeping missions. As part of its operations in Mali, Ecolog has built roads, camps, state-of-the-art multi-temperature warehouses and established an agile and reliable multimodal supply chain.

Paul Broekhuijsen, CEO of Ecolog said: “Ecolog’s operations in Mali are an illustration of the company’s capabilities to support operations in a country, where conditions can be challenging, from a terrain perspective as well as the security conditions, at times. Our clients rely on our vast experience and capabilities to deliver more than 2,000 tons of food and water every month to the people working for the peacekeeping missions. With our robust supply chain and fully equipped warehouses, we are able to maintain the continuous delivery of those services. We are also proud to be able to involve a great number of local companies as our suppliers, generating work and contributing to local employment.”

Ecolog International Service Solutions: Court disputes with NDR resolved – NDR apologises

Ecolog International Service Solutions: Court disputes with NDR resolved – NDR apologises

Court disputes with NDR resolved – NDR apologises

PRESS RELEASE
German public-law broadcasting company NDR apologises to Ecolog and the
Destani family
02/11/2010, Düsseldorf - The public-law broadcaster NDR (Norddeutscher Rundfunk, member of
the ARD) has apologised to the international company Ecolog and its founder, and has sent
personal letters expressing its regret at the suspicion-based reporting and the resulting damages.
In a report broadcast on 26 February 2010 as well as in the Internet, the NDR incorrectly claimed
and published that orders from NATO to Ecolog AG had possibly been misused for illegal actions.
German courts immediately forbad the broadcaster from making these and further defamatory
claims. NDR itself has now issued a voluntary statement to Ecolog and the Destani family that its
information has not been confirmed as correct and has issued an undertaking not to repeat these
comments and to delete corresponding publications. The letter reads “If this report has created a
suspicion of illegal actions by the company Ecolog or your family, this is a matter of regret for the
Norddeutscher Rundfunk, the employees and editors involved.”
NDR also thanked Ecolog and the company founder for their willingness to reach an out-of-court
settlement and to accept NDR’s apology for the inconvenience caused by the report.
“Naturally, we are pleased that NDR has thought better of the matter and withdrawn its incorrect
claims”, commented a spokesman of Ecolog. “In view of the irritation triggered amongst the
employees by this unfounded claim, it was important for us that the broadcasting company not only
delete its articles but also express its regret. This has been done and we can now regard the
matter as fully closed.”
As early as May, NATO Headquarters, Joint Forces Command Brunssum, declared that the
accusations expressed by the NDR to General Ramms had shown no indications of irregularities
when checked. Furthermore, Joint Forces Command Brunssum made it clear that “in view of the
possibly misleading reporting by the NDR, it should be noted that General Egon Ramms in no way
had suspicions against the company Ecolog prior to the discussion with NDR reporter Christoph
Heinzle.”
Ecolog provides integrated service solutions, with international presence, in Germany, USA, UAE,
Turkey, China, Kuwait and Macedonia. Ecolog-Macedonia has been based in Tetovo for more than
ten years and quickly established itself as the largest employer in the region. The company moved
into a new office building in Tetovo in autumn 2009. Over 120 employees work there in one of the
most modern complexes in the Balkans. The family Destani, with origin from Tetovo-Macedonia, is
known for its involvement in strengthening the local business location. Most recently, Ecolog
donated three modern refuse collection vehicles worth 200,000 euro in order to support the
regional efforts to improve management of the local refuse disposal problem, thereby setting an
example for more environmental friendliness and European standards.
