Our main environmental aspect relates to CO2 emissions. As 80% of Conclusion’s CO2 emissions can be traced back to mobility, we have set ourselves the goal of ensuring our commercial fleet is carbon-neutral by 2025. But that’s for later – we want to make an impact now!

The forest is planted on an eight-hectare plot of agricultural land, adjacent to existing nature and forest areas. A total of about 29,000 trees and shrubs of twelve species (including linden, hornbeam, alder buckthorn, yew, wild cherry, and pedunculate oak) have been planted on an 5.5-hectare plot. The higher tree species are planted in the core of the new forest, while the lower-growing tree and shrub species are located at the perimeter.

This creates a crucial transition from standing forest to a wide forest edge, which then leads onto meadows and grassland with a variety of flora and fauna. As many plants and animals thrive in transitional landscapes like this, they are a biodiversity hotspot. The other 2.5 hectares contain a meadow rich in wildflowers and wildlife, wildflower-rich grassland, and some pools. The entire area is important for highly vulnerable animal species, including the bluethroat, black woodpecker, and palmate newt.
