TÜV AUSTRIA Forests of the Future

1 Million Trees by 2030

With the “TÜV AUSTRIA Forests of the Future” project, the internationally active Austrian TÜV AUSTRIA Group has been sending a strong signal for climate protection and social responsibility since 2024. As a visible and long-term commitment to sustainability, the first company-owned forests were established in Romania, a key core market for TÜV AUSTRIA in Europe—pictured are Dr. Stefan Haas, CEO of the TÜV AUSTRIA Group (left), and Dr. Doru Fulga, Managing Director of TÜV AUSTRIA Romania.

In the immediate vicinity of TÜV AUSTRIA locations, the TÜV AUSTRIA Group has acquired large tracts of land that have been and continue to be systematically reforested.

    In the future, 65,000 trees will thrive on 9.5 hectares.
  • Buda, near the Carpathians:
    15,000 seedlings have been planted across 4.5 hectares.
  • Gorgota and Păulești (Bucharest–Ploiești region):
    45,000 young trees are growing on 16.5 hectares , and another 120,000 on an additional 72 hectares. In 2026, another 210,000 trees will be planted in Păulești —forming the largest TÜV AUSTRIA forest to date.

By the end of 2027, a total of 540,000 new trees—primarily oak, ash, and black locust seedlings—will have been planted across more than 120 hectares. TÜV AUSTRIA is currently evaluating the implementation of additional forest projects in Europe.

“The goal is to plant a total of one million trees by 2030 . Our commitment is much more than just a contribution to CO₂ reduction; it is a promise: We are acting today for the world of tomorrow,” said Dr. Stefan Haas, CEO of the TÜV AUSTRIA Group.
