In doing so, the packaging company is not only focusing on internationally certified climate protection, but also strengthening the local ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioned by the German Printing and Media Association (bvdm), the Forest Enterprise Foundation confirms that almost 600 trees are being planted in the Granestausee forest in Lower Saxony&#8217;s Harz Mountains to offset the energy balance for 2024. This measure makes a valuable contribution to stabilising the local climate and strengthening Germany\u2019s forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subject of this project is in no way haphazard, as \u2013 according to a company press release \u2013 for Karl Knauer, trees are more than just a symbol. As a natural raw material, wood is the basis for many of the materials that Karl Knauer uses to produce packaging and promotional materials from paper, cardboard and corrugated cardboard: \u201cA healthy forest is far more than an expression of ecological responsibility \u2013 it is a prerequisite for securing sustainable value chains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t see climate protection as an abstract idea, but as a real responsibility that we take seriously every day,\u201d says Stefanie Wieckenberg, managing partner at Karl Knauer KG. \u201cBy planting almost 600 trees in the Harz Mountains, we are consciously committing ourselves to the place where our products originate: the forest. In this way, we are taking responsibility for the raw material we work with daily \u2013 and showing that sustainability begins locally and has a global impact.\u201d With this initiative, Karl Knauer KG is once again underlining its commitment to living ecological responsibility in a holistic and future-oriented way.
