Up Norway contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing our carbon footprint and offsetting the remaining emissions through Trefadder.
Norway is taking part in a collective sustainability shift, and like most responsible corporations, our goal is to become climate neutral. We want to reduce our emissions and make more environmentally friendly choices. In addition, we want to contribute with climate compensatory measures for afforestation through Trefadder.
This contribution makes our employees climate neutral! We view Trefadder as a long-term collaborator. Together, we contribute to decelerating the severe climate change we are facing in Norway, in addition to the rest of the world.
On our 'Discovery Route' you can experience perhaps Norway's most sustainable trip – Including a visit to the Trefadder climate initiative at the Hagalid Mountain Farm located on the Norwegian West Coast. In these idyllic surroundings, you will experience the Hagalid family home, their café and gallery. The art gallery offers homemade meals based on Norwegian and local tradition with a twist using local products, often from the garden or forest. Amongst stunning fjord views, The Hagalid Mountain farm is also the home of one hundred sheep, and soon – a million trees!

CO2 capture
We are supporting carbon capture through tree planting in Norwegian climate forests.
Growing these forests will store more CO2 and contribute to an improved environment, in addition to the positive social impact of creating local jobs.
The climate contribution is certified, and you can visit our climate forest in the Norwegian wilderness.
Photosynthesis is nature's way of capturing CO2.
Trefadder has established the first Norwegian climate forests. We make sure that trees are planted in the right places, and at the right time.
Hagalid Farm, Hjelmeland
65.000 trees planted (2019/2020)
We aim to fulfill the UN sustainability goals 13 and 15 by our climate compensatory actions:
13. CLIMATE ACTION
- Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
15. LIFE ON LAND
- Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
CO2 capture
Trees capture CO2 through photosynthesis.
A Norwegian spruce can capture up to 2 tonnes of CO2.
Applies to CO2 sequestration in wood, roots, and soil.

100% traceability
Trefadder has full traceability of the entire value chain, from seed to plant and forest. The trees first grow for two years in a greenhouse before we plant them in the forest soil.
We plant the right trees in the right places.
By planting around 1.400 trees per acre in carefully selected locations, we handle every step of the planting process with great responsibility. Trefadder achieves biological diversity by avoiding monocultures to maintain natural habitats for plants and animals.
As a proud Trefadder, we are contributing to improving the well-being of future generations.
