JUNG Supports Regional Conservation Projects
JUNG since 1828, a specialist in packaging services and solutions, as well as a manufacturer of promotional sweets and Advent calendars, has been improving wetland protection at its own company sites since 2025, including two regional restoration projects currently underway.
This year, the company is supporting two regional restoration projects in Baden-Wuerttemberg and Thuringia with 5,200 euros, thereby contributing to voluntary climate protection. Wetlands are crucial for climate protection: They store large amounts of CO₂, regulate temperature and water balance, and provide a valuable habitat for rare animal and plant species. And yet over 90% of Germany’s wetlands are considered drained today, resulting in significant emissions and the loss of species-rich habitats.
Targeted engagement
For JUNG, the contribution to wetland protection is part of its broader commitment to climate and biodiversity. It is also reflected in the company’s other activities that support the protection of endangered species, including its sponsorship of the Okapi bull Imba, who lives at the Wilhelma Zoological and Botanical Gardens in Stuttgart. The company’s support for regional wetlands and international species conservation projects demonstrates its commitment to fulfilling its ecological responsibilities. “With our sites in Baden-Wuerttemberg and Thuringia, we have a close connection to the local regions, which is why we decided to provide targeted support for projects that have a direct positive environmental impact right here in our community,” says Tania Teschner, Marketing and Public Relations at JUNG. “Wetland restoration is one of the most effective measures to bind CO₂ and preserve habitats. This is what we want to actively promote.”
Taking action for diverse cultural landscapes
On 24 April in Bönnigheim, the company also saw the foundation’s work first-hand at an event organised by the climate protection foundation in Baden Wuerttemberg, which has a wetlands project that JUNG seit 2026 supports. The hands-on campaign in April 2026 made it clear that these traditional cultural landscapes play a very important role in promoting biodiversity, protecting the climate and conserving valuable ecosystems.
