Zertifizierter Klimaschutz kombiniert mit zusätzlichem Engagement

Europe’s native forests are under increasing pressure. Insect infestations, fungal diseases, and a rise in extreme weather events – including heatwaves, prolonged droughts, and storms – are severely impacting forest health. According to the 2023 Forest Condition Report, only around 20% of trees in Germany are still considered healthy.

Strengthening the resilience and climate stability of our forests is therefore more important than ever. Reforestation with species that are better adapted to local conditions and a changing climate plays a key role in this effort.

This project actively contributes to long-term forest restoration. In close collaboration with forestry experts, we select suitable native tree species that are better equipped to withstand the effects of climate change. Planting is carried out together with experienced organisations and professionals – in some cases with the involvement of our customers as part of joint tree-planting events.

This tree planting initiative is part of a combined project

Companies investing in this project support both the planting of climate-resilient trees and a certified international climate project – delivering double the impact. For every tonne of CO₂ demonstrably reduced through the certified project, one tree is planted in Germany.

Currently, tree planting in Germany is combined with a certified wind energy project in Chile (climatepartner.com/1272). Here, two wind farms called "El Pacifico" and "La Cebada" with a total of 57 wind turbines and an installed capacity of 109.6 MW supply electricity from renewable energy sources. The wind turbines began operating in July 2014 and now generate an average of 290 GWh of clean electricity per year, which is fed into the central electricity grid (SIC).
