Bulletin 2/2012 stands out with the title "Already over 15,000 energy-saving stoves produced". It goes on to say: "After two years of development, the OLI energy-saving stoves are now a huge success and very popular. No wonder, since they reduce wood or coal consumption by more than 50 %." The great demand has led, among other things, to the opening of a sales point in the capital Antananarivo. The extension of the Gold Standard label to the whole country of Madagascar has also contributed to this. ADES has received strong support for this success from myclimate and Hans Peter Frei.

The inauguration of the large metal workshop in Toliara, where the boilers for the OLIs as well as for the school solar cookers and the electric solar cookers are made, is mentioned several times and recorded with pictures.

Another highlight is the inauguration of the first ADES school canteen. It is located in Saondrano. The annual report states: "Now the women prepare a healthy meal for about 250 children every day. This helps to ensure that the children don't fall asleep in class because they are hungry or are sent by their parents to fish instead of going to school." A radio journalist on the ground also says: "In these difficult times, there is very little good to report. But ADES always provides topics and activities for positive news."

The increasingly frequent visits of foreign tour groups to the ADES production sites and information centres are mentioned as a continuing trend. The tourists ask for explanations of how ADES products work and how they are made, and they are always very interested. Centre manager Anatolie von Toliara says: "On pourrait croire que l'ADES c'est un site touristique à Madagascar!

At the general meeting, the board shows a richly illustrated presentation. Due to the growth, Regula gets an assistant for the first time in March. There is also an interesting section in the annual report on the subject of information technology: "Herbert Blaser has spent many hours on a voluntary basis mutating all ADES data in Switzerland and Madagascar into the new information technology programme Salesforce. This means that the data can be accessed via the internet from anywhere. ADES is already using the programme with great success.
