A tree for a workstation
We cherish the program: A tree for a workstation. Since 1999, we have implemented a notion where clientele have the option to plant a tree for a purchased workplace. We alongside our clients have currently planted two full hectares in Belgium, and now found a significantly larger area of 14 hectares in Malaga, southern Spain.
There we have started planting palm trees in a palm tree research center to support the project: A Tree for a Workstation, doing our part to combat climate change where we can.

The potential of the palmtree
Palm trees have great potential for absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere; something that is a high priority for a large number of government and non-government agencies. Compared to other plants of a similar size, the palm tree requires a minimal amount of water, that's a great advantage.
According to Henson [87], a hectare of palm trees can absorb a net amount of 64 tons of CO2 each year and produces around 18 tons of oxygen, which is higher than a forest's net absorption.
