Forests created or improved Fedrigoni Forest
Why did we support this forest?
In an area surrounded by warehouses, factories, industrial plants and motorways, a new forest is being created to give employees and citizens of the green area a better, greener and more liveable environment.
History of the forest
A new forest has emerged in an area surrounded by warehouses, factories, industrial plants, and motorways. The Fedrigoni Group funded the development of the park next to its Ritrama factory, located on the border between Caponago and Pessano con Bornago, to give employees and local residents a better, greener, and more liveable environment. This environmental initiative reflects the social impact of the Fedrigoni Group’s business activities. The Group is one of the world’s leading producers of specialised papers for luxury packaging and premium self-adhesive materials.
Where is the forest located?
How we improved the forest
The new Fedrigoni Forest is partly located within the North-East Agricultural Park, an area involved in a broad project focused on land conservation and enhancing its natural features. This region is one of the most urbanised peri-urban zones in Europe, with significant ecological and agricultural importance. To reflect this, the 15,000 m² forest has been planted with 1,530 native species typical of the Po Valley and lowland forests, including oaks, ash trees, field maples, holm oaks, yews, and elms. To promote and support biodiversity, many shrubs, such as dogwood—expected to produce flowers and fruit—have also been added. In November 2021, two hundred new trees were planted among the more than 1,500 already in the Fedrigoni Forest, marking an anniversary and revitalising what will become a new green space for the local community over time. The Fedrigoni Forest will help absorb tonnes of CO2, serving as a natural barrier and filter against the nearby motorway. It will provide residents with cleaner air, free from pollutants like PM10 and PM2.5, and also benefit sport enthusiasts, especially cyclists, who use the cycle path between the two towns that will host the forest.
