The most sustainable in its field 🌎
We are involved in employing young people and planting a new carbon sink together with the Finnish 4H Federation in the Taimiteko project. By planting new forests on peatlands abandoned by Vapo around Finland, we neutralise our carbon footprint every year. We are currently planting more than twice as many new saplings as our own direct CO2 emissions each year. We want to ensure that our indirect carbon footprint is also neutralised.
