Faber-Castell's forests in Prata, Southeast Brazil, absorb 900,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), according to a scientific study by TV-Rheinlandin 2012.
The 10,000 hectare forestry project not only secures stocks of sustainable wood but also protects the environment through photosynthesis, which converts the CO2into biomass.
The pine trees and forests in Prata, one third of which have been left untouched, therefore neutralise the climate-relevant carbon footprint Faber-Castell's global production facilities.
Large parts of the forests have become a habitat for rare species of animals and plants, which is particularly important.
A respectful interaction with nature is key alongside sustainability.
