Helvetia protection forest commitment

Whether we are travelling in a car, or hiking or skiing, we often underestimate how much forests contribute to our safety. Protection forests are planted especially to protect us from four key threats: rockfall, landslides, mudslides and avalanches. This long-term voluntary commitment to protection forests is part of the environment-related corporate responsibility activities of Helvetia Group.
Our commitment in short
Since 2011 Helvetia supports the (re-)planting and preservation of protection forests. We place an emphasis on prevention, the implementation of measures where damage occurs and the subsequent rectification of this damage. A number of conditions are applied to the protection forest projects. The projects:
  • should each include 10,000 trees or more.
  • must be carefully prepared, with the forestry needs and requirements being clarified.
  • start with the initial planting of a few trees; the entire planting process can extend over several years.
