Company donations

Metsä Conservation Foundation aims to protect as much high biodiversity sites around Finland as possible. Company donations play an important role in the effectiveness and long-term continuity of our conservation work. A donation to forest conservation is a tangible act of actions supporting nature, demonstrating a commitment to protecting biodiversity. 

A company donation can be a one-off donation or a long-term agreement. We will tailor a suitable form of donation for your company.
