Our involvement in climate protection projects
SwissSalary Forest
Our SwissSalary Forest was created through the planting of 200 trees. Because we are unable to reduce our emissions to zero, planting trees is a natural means of sequestering CO2 and offsetting emissions. Trees are also a central component of a healthy earth.
Stopping deforestation in Pará Brazil
The main goal of this climate protection project is to stop commercial logging. By banning logging operations, a giant forest with dense vegetation is preserved, resulting in a high reduction of CO2 emissions. The cultivation of Açaí, a local berry, is supported as an alternative source of income for the local population. By supporting this project, SwissSalary contributed to saving 132 metric tons of CO2.
