Your Company-Owned Forest.
Strengthening teams. Showcasing values.

Position yourself as a pioneer in your region with a company-owned forest and inspire employees and customers with sustainability in practice.

Your company forest in a nutshell

We plant a new forest on the land of your choice, bringing life back to nature. In the process, we promote biodiversity, improve air quality and stabilise the water balance in your region. If you wish, we can make your forest an experience, for example with a barbecue area, a hut with electricity or toilets. This creates a special place for workshops, team events or private visits by your employees. This reinforces your sustainable corporate culture and sets you apart from the competition. For smaller companies, we offer the opportunity to make a donation to a community forest and do some visible good.

Good for nature

CO2 storing

Trees are natural climate protectors. As they grow, they absorb CO₂ from the air and store it in the wood and soil over the long term. One hectare of mature mixed forest binds around 6 to 12 tonnes of CO₂ per year. In this way, your company forest actively helps to reduce greenhouse gases, improves the air quality in your region and makes a valuable contribution to climate protection.

Water balance

A healthy forest regulates the region's water balance. The roots of trees store up to 200,000 litres of water per hectare per year, preventing erosion and helping the soil retain moisture. This reduces flooding, stabilises the local climate and protects against periods of drought.

Species conservation

Germany's forests provide a habitat for up to 10,000 animal and plant species. By creating a new area of woodland, you can provide important shelter for endangered species, promote biodiversity and revitalise degraded areas. In this way, you can make a lasting contribution to the ecosystem on your doorstep.

Good for the company

Internal

  1. Venue for team building programmes and workshops
    Outdoor workshops or team events in your own forest are unique and build team spirit.
  2. Health promotion for employees
    Walks in the company forest reduce stress and improve concentration.
  1. Corporate events
    Whether it's a summer party or a company anniversary, the relaxed atmosphere of your own company forest makes for an unforgettable experience.
  2. Identification with the company
    Employees are proud of an employer that does good things for the region and are happy to tell their friends about it.
  3. Tax benefits
    The costs for the company forest are deductible, this is also how sustainability pays off economically.

Externally

  1. Increase your regional presence
    A corporate forest gives your company long-term visibility. Signs in the forest, press coverage and social media posts ensure a strong presence in the region.
  2. Credible differentiation from competitors
    Show that your company is taking responsibility and not just greenwashing.
  1. Contributing to the local environment
    Your corporate forest becomes a place that benefits the whole region. It provides visible added value for people and nature.
  2. Marketing opportunities
    Social media content, event photos or video contributions. This makes sustainability tangible and part of your brand.

    A corporate forest can help you achieve your CSR goals and improve your image in the long term.

Let's talk

For a small budget: Forest donation

A community corporate forest is an opportunity for companies of all sizes to actively promote sustainability. Instead of funding your own forest, you choose the amount you want. We do the rest. We pool contributions from different companies, plan a suitable area and plant the trees. Your company receives individual EVA certificates, social media content and a visible presence in the forest for its share. In this way, you contribute to the reforestation of forests and do not have to worry about the maintenance of your company forest.

What exactly will be created?

Reforested areas

Your contribution ensures the reforestation of native forests. Thanks to precise GPS tracking, you can be sure that every plant you pay for has actually been planted. In this way, you actively support the protection and regeneration of our forests and make a tangible contribution to preventing their destruction.

Company signs and marketing material

Your commitment will be visible: customised on-site signage and professional marketing materials will set you apart from the competition. From social media content and press releases to photos and videos, we make sure your contribution to reforestation is not only recognised, but appreciated.

Certificates for your CSR report

With a corporate forest, you actively contribute to meeting the CSRD requirements that will apply from 2024, while enhancing your sustainable image. You will receive official EVA certificates that document your commitment and are ideal for use in your CSR report.

Common questions about company forests

How can I be sure that my donation will be used for reforestation?

We use GPS to track each planting, making the process transparent and verifiable. All projects are aimed at reforesting native forests.

Who will look after my company forest?

If you have your own company forest, we can take care of all the maintenance for you, and if you donate forest land, the owner of the forest will take care of the maintenance because they will benefit from the proceeds of the timber harvest at a later date, meaning that your donation remains a one-off investment with a lasting impact.

Why should I invest in local reforestation rather than planting in South America?

Local reforestation offers many benefits, including cleaner air, protection from flooding and the preservation of habitats for native species. Unlike in South America, where it is often unclear whether trees have actually been planted, our EVA certificates guarantee transparent documentation. GPS data allows you to track the exact location of your trees and visit them in person at any time.

Is my company forest tax deductible?

For German companies, both the company forest and the donation are tax-deductible as a sustainable investment in the environment. We will provide you with the necessary documentation.
