The Forests of Siemens Gamesa launched to strengthen commitment to building a greener future


  • The Forests of Siemens Gamesa global initiative will plant 50,000 trees this year close to its operations working alongside several reforestation partners. Together the trees will extract over 1 million kg of CO2 out of the atmosphere
  • Reforestation projects will start this year in Spain, Brazil, France, Morocco and Mexico and, where possible, employees will participate as volunteers. The projects will be extended to other countries in 2021
  • The initiative forms part of the company’s new Social Commitment strategy aimed at reducing poverty, improving the environment and promoting STEM education

Siemens Gamesa is taking a step forward in its mission to provide a cleaner, more sustainable future through the launch of The Forests of Siemens Gamesa, a global reforestation program which will help restore woodland areas across the countries where the company operates.

This global initiative forms part of the company’s social commitment efforts to help meet the UN’s Agenda 2030 for a better planet, and will see it plant over 50,000 trees this year working with several reforestation partners. When mature these trees together will extract over 1 million kg of CO2 out of the atmosphere.

The initiative forms part of Siemens Gamesa’s Social Commitment area helping to drive the company’s social engagement and long-term environmental commitment, as well as combating poverty and promoting STEM Education.

To help the company get there, Siemens Gamesa is teaming up with several partners to oversee the planting of several small ‘forests’ close to many of its operations. The first major tree planting will be held on October 17 at a location near Madrid, with two more close to the company’s headquarters in Bilbao and Navarre in October and November respectively.

They will be followed by other tree planting initiatives in Mexico, Morocco, France and Brazil this year, and subsequently at various other countries where the company operates, including UK, Germany, Denmark and the US.
