Co2mpensating by planting: our commitment to reforestation
After kicking off the year with an innovative drone-based afforestation campaign in collaboration with Project O2 in Vukovar, where we teamed up with other companies in the KONČAR Group, we recently embarked on our second independent forest planting initiative of the year.
In our initial campaign, drones dispersed balls containing self-sprouting seeds of indigenous and non-invasive species across 483,668 m² in Vukovar’s Adica Forest Park. This groundbreaking effort established us as the first company to organize such a forest planting event in Vukovar.
In our second campaign of the year, in collaboration with the Hearth agency, the Croatian Scout Association, and Hrvatske Šume, we took part in the Co2mpensating by Planting program by planting trees in the Perjasica area.

Our dedicated volunteers, alongside those from the Croatian Scout Association and Hrvatske Šume, planted 1,000 penduculate oak saplings. These trees will offset 25 tons of CO2 annually. This effort makes us proud members of a volunteer community that has grown to 5,010 since the project began in November 2021. Our 1,000 trees are now part of a larger initiative that has seen 100,000 trees planted over the past two years. Looking ahead, these trees will collectively offset 2,500,000 kg of CO2 annually, playing a significant role in our ongoing green initiative.
