Symbol for the future: Our climate tree grows with us.
A very special tree has recently taken root on our company premises in Kulmbach: a climate tree – also known as a Paulownia or “Empress Tree.” At just 1.3 meters tall, it may still appear modest, but its potential is remarkable. In just a few years, it can grow up to 15 meters tall and absorb up to 700 kilograms of CO₂ from the atmosphere annually.
🌍 Why a Climate Tree?
The Paulownia is a true marvel of nature:
- Fast-growing: Up to 5 meters of growth per year
- Efficient: Absorbs up to 10 times more CO₂ than conventional trees
- Resilient: Thrives in various climates and soil types
- Ecologically valuable: Provides habitat and supports biodiversity
“For us, this tree is more than just a carbon sink. It stands as a living symbol of our shared growth – as a company, as a team, and as part of a sustainable future.”
This initiative is just one step on our journey to actively contribute to a better environment. Because sustainability starts small – and grows with every step we take.
