Nature and landscape conservation

Protection of biodiversity and landscape

We want to and we know how to manage natural resources sustainably and efficiently. We strive to maintain biodiversity and continuity of the ecological processes in our surroundings. We care about the well-being of animals and the environment and we wish to preserve the natural landscape of the area around us. If needed, we restore the right condition of natural habitats and other components of nature.

We feel responsible for the neighbouring protected areas or those with special landscape qualities. Operating near national or landscape parks, lakes and rivers is a challenge, but also an opportunity to engage in measures to protect the unique natural environment. We take advantage of the opportunities that our value chain gives us and that arise from an inherent need to preserve nature.

The regions form a land and freshwater ecosystem whose habitats and birds must be protected. They are particularly valuable areas for biodiversity and comprise unique lakes, ponds, bogs and forests.
