Sowing the future
Our initiatives to restore forest cover in Spain.
Collaboration with ReTree
We are using the ReTree platform as a way to offset BayWa r.e.’s carbon footprint through reforestation projects in Spain. This initiative allows us to offset our emissions twice over, underscoring our commitment to mitigating climate change and conserving the environment.
To document and share our efforts, we have created a virtual “BayWa r.e. Forest” on the ReTree website, where all our offset projects will be recorded, complete with specific data and indicators.
We have already planted 155 trees with the company in 'El Valle de los Sueños' in Madrid.
In addition, we have the Carbon Footprint calculation + compensation seal awarded by the OECC for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023 and we are in the process of obtaining the seal for 2024
The BayWa r.e. Ecological Corridor
Working with the Municipality of Picón, we are developing “The BayWa r.e. Ecological Corridor” consisting of 104 holm oaks, 28 ash trees, 63 broom trees and 14 oleanders. This innovative project is mainly intended to contribute to reforestation and sustainable development in the area.
The corridor will be 700 metres long and will be located around the Picón solar plant developed by BayWa r.e.
