We plant one more - our climate contribution
In 2021, we launched the first climate-neutral street light with the Luma luminaire family. The great support of our customers has prompted us to offer all our street lights climate-neutral from spring 2022.
But that's not all...
We decided to do something for the environment in addition to compensation by our customers.
In cooperation with the Swiss non-profit company arboRise, 54 hectares of forest in Guinea will be reforested through the contribution of ELEKTRON Austria GmbH and ELEKTRON AG. That is more than 15,000 trees that will grow over the next few years.
About arboRise
- the nonprofit that plants forests for the climate
arboRise aims to fight climate change in an efficient, ethical, humane and ecological way. Planting trees is the best way to sequester CO₂ and thus reduce climatic warming. The best is photosynthesis.
- arboRise acts in a participatory way: Your donation enables the purchase of seeds of numerous tree species from farming families in Upper Guinea.
- Then, with the help of the local population, arboRise protects these seeds, then distributes them in large quantities, leaving nature to select the most suitable seeds that will germinate during the rainy season.
- From that moment on, each leaf of each tree absorbs CO₂ and produces oxygen every day. Gradually, a diverse and resilient young forest is created, which provides its virtues to the entire region.
