A Global Achievement for Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Fourth Place at the Enactus World Cup 2025 in Bangkok
At Boudjebel, our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility goes beyond our operations — it extends to the next generation of changemakers. That’s why we’re proud to celebrate the incredible achievement of the Enactus TBS team, who secured 4th place at the Enactus World Cup 2025, held in Bangkok, Thailand. 🌍🎉
Backed by our support and belief in youth-led innovation, the Enactus TBS team represented Tunisia and Africa on a global stage with exceptional energy, purpose, and vision.
A Partnership Rooted in Shared Values
Our collaboration with Enactus TBS is more than sponsorship — it’s a partnership aligned with our core values of sustainable development, community empowerment, and inclusive growth. By supporting initiatives that foster social innovation and entrepreneurial leadership, we invest in a more responsible and resilient future.
Detailed Description of the EcoGuard Solution
EcoGuard is a bio‑based, sustainable formulation developed by students of Enactus Tunisia (Tunis Business School) to protect Tunisia’s date palms against the pest known as Boufarwa, a destructive mite. Rather than relying on synthetic acaricides (which are costly, potentially harmful to the environment, and leave chemical residues), EcoGuard offers a natural alternative using essential oils extracted from local plants.
Key features of the solution
- The formulation has acaricidal (mite‑killing) and repellent properties, effectively reducing Boufarwa populations.
- It is designed to be safe for humans, non‑toxic for pollinators, and without harmful residues — which makes it more environmentally and agriculturally sustainable.
- The raw materials are locally sourced, making the solution scalable and more economically viable for rural and oasis farming systems.
- Early field trials (in date plantations) supported by Boudjebel show promising results: reduced mite infestation, good tree health, no observable phytotoxicity, and preservation of beneficial fauna in the ecosystem.
EcoGuard is thus not just a pest control measure, but a holistic innovation that boosts sustainable agriculture, improves fruit quality and yield, strengthens local value chains, and contributes to healthier ecosystems in vulnerable oasis environments.
Why This Matters
At Boudjebel, we believe that businesses must play a proactive role in addressing global challenges. This means:
- Supporting youth empowerment
- Encouraging social entrepreneurship
- Promoting ethical and sustainable business models
The Enactus TBS team exemplifies all of these values. Their success in Bangkok demonstrates the real impact of combining innovation with a strong sense of purpose.
