SKP Goes Forest
SKP Goes Forest project
At SKP, we strive every day to contribute to a healthy living environment for everyone. Stimulating a healthy living environment can range from coaching sessions on ergonomic working to sharpening our goals regarding recycling. Every small contribution makes a big difference in the end.
Recently we have entered into a partnership with Go Forest. The project is committed to planting and/or restoring forests in Belgium and the rest of the world. In order to experience the results of our efforts ourselves, we have chosen a project located in Nives, Belgium. A project that we can visit ourselves and see grow will undoubtedly ensure greater commitment.
Our goal is to plant more than 5,000 trees by the end of 2024. In addition, the project takes into account biodiversity and which native tree species thrive in the area. A plot of land planted with only spruce trees has a low ecological added value. In addition, old trees are never cut down, but plots in poor condition are specifically selected to replant them.
Update: Currently, our goal has been achieved with 5,012 planted trees. This results in a capture of 877 tons of CO₂ within a period of 20-30 years.
Global deforestation is one of the biggest threats to our planet. This is a problem that will affect us all sooner or later. In the future, many initiatives will be taken to contribute to a better and more beautiful living environment together with our customers. Be sure to keep an eye on our communication channels to follow the developments of the SKP Goes Forest project closely. Or sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of this page.
The SKP forest project offers several benefits to the environment and society. Some of the major benefits:
Carbon Sequestration: Trees absorb CO2 from the air, reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This helps combat climate change.
Biodiversity: Trees provide a home for many species of animals and plants. Planting trees can help conserve endangered species and enhance local biodiversity.
Air Quality: Trees purify the air by absorbing dust and other harmful substances. This can lead to an improvement in air quality.
Water management: Trees hold the soil and thus promote water management. They also help regulate water drainage and prevent flooding.
Recreation: Trees can also play an important role in recreation. They provide shelter from the sun, provide shade, and offer a beautiful environment for walking and recreation.
Socio-economic: Trees can also have a positive effect on the social and economic development of an area. For example, they can be used for timber production in combination with sustainable forest management and also ecotourism, which can contribute to the local economy and employment.
