Salto is proud to announce a major advancement in its sustainability efforts across the Nordic region. Although Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland have each participated in past emission compensation initiatives, this year they are collaborating for the first time in a unified program with Trefadder.

Driving Positive Impact for Climate and Biodiversity 

Founded in 2019, Trefadder has quickly emerged as Norway’s leading organization in CO₂ capture. By executing well-managed tree-planting projects, Trefadder ensures long-term carbon storage while also aiding in the preservation and restoration of biodiversity in vulnerable ecosystems. Their efforts adhere to strict scientific and methodological standards, guaranteeing authentic and measurable climate benefits. This collaboration allows Salto to effectively reduce its carbon footprint by supporting nature-based climate solutions.

“At Salto Nordic, we’re working hard to make a positive impact on our planet! We’re committed to reducing our climate footprint locally and globally, concentrating on meaningful reductions in CO₂ levels while fostering nature for generations to come. Through our collaboration with Trefadder, we are actively addressing our unavoidable emissions by planting new forests that not only capture carbon but also enhance biodiversity. Together, we’re making a difference!” shared Jesper Buch, Managing Director of Salto Systems Nordic.

Enhancing Salto sustainability commitment 

Sustainability is a key priority for Salto and is deeply integrated into the organization’s operations at every level. By thoughtfully selecting materials with a lower environmental impact and incorporating innovative sustainable technologies into its products and processes, Salto is consistently working to minimize its environmental footprint. The collaboration with Trefadder further strengthens these efforts, demonstrating a strong commitment to responsible business practices and a greener future.
