PHH renews the forest together with the State Forests

Polski Holding Hotelowy takes action for environmental protection under the Eco Challenge program. In cooperation with the State Forests, PHH volunteers planted 1,050 pedunculate oak seedlings in the Jabłonna Forest District.

The symbolic action “Forest Around Us” is another step towards building awareness of sustainable development.

– We are convinced that such joint initiatives not only integrate our team but also inspire employees to actively participate in activities for nature conservation – said Magdalena Gajdur, Senior Sustainability Specialist at PHH.

The aim of the initiative was not only to plant trees but above all to educate PHH employees about forest management. Thanks to their direct participation in the work, the participants had the opportunity to learn the secrets of forestry and understand how important sustainable management of natural resources is. They also learned about the characteristics of different tree species, including the pedunculate oak, a symbol of longevity and strength.
Forest renewal is the process of introducing a new generation of trees to replace those that have been removed as a result of human activity or natural causes. This ensures the continuity of forest existence.

– The State Forests have been managing forest areas in Poland for 100 years. We take care of forests by managing them responsibly. Renewing the forest so that it serves future generations fits perfectly into the ideas of sustainable development. We are pleased with every initiative that raises public awareness of the role of forests, especially in the era of climate change – emphasized Artur Zakolski, Forest District Manager of Jabłonna.

Through its commitment to environmental protection, Polish Hotel Holding demonstrates that social responsibility is an important element of its operations.

The State Forests are the largest organization in the European Union managing forests owned by the State Treasury. They manage one-quarter of Poland’s territory – an area of particular value, as it is covered by forests. More importantly, this area is systematically increasing thanks to the efforts of foresters.
