Join #ViMoveForClimate!

Planting one million trees is an incredible achievement – but there’s no reason to rest just yet. Climate conservation is our joint responsibility, and we welcome everyone who wants to support us. During next campaign – track your activity, workouts in the ViMove app, and you will immediately see how many trees will be planted. Share your results and nominate other participants to beat your record. You can also form teams and invite friends and family because not only can we accomplish anything with one another – it’s also more fun. We are looking forward to your support and participation.

We want more!

We’ve already achieved so much with #ViMoveForClimate. Thanks to your support and your workouts in the first six rounds, we are planting more than one million trees in Peru up to Sauerland and Finland. As they grow, the trees will aid the preservation and recovery of their ecosystems by protecting soil, balancing water management, preserving biodiversity and, of course, collecting CO2, among other things.

We want to take on more responsibility by setting our goal at planting one million trees. That’s why Viessmann has purchased around 1700 hectares of land in northern Finland. Nearly a third of the area is covered with trees, while the rest is mostly a marsh. The area’s trees and marsh remove around 5200 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.

All exercise counts

The principle of #ViMoveForClimate is simple: You do the exercise, and Viessmann will plant the trees as a reward. You can improve your health while making a contribution to climate conservation at the same time. To ensure that you can make the most of your exercise, there are almost 40 types of sports from which you can choose.

Below, you can see how we convert your exercise into tree units: For example, you can play 120 minutes of golf, cycle 30 kilometers, hike ten kilometers or do 90 minutes of yoga for one tree.

The more, the merrier

Together, we can do great things. Encourage your friends and family to join and register in the ViMove app by sending them an invitation! You can create multiple teams: For example a team for your family, a team for your friends – whatever you want!

What we can achieve together

Trees are our partner in climate conservation: According to experts, trees absorb around one ton of CO2 from the atmosphere each year for every cubic meter of wood they grow. Trees also clean the air of pollutants and clear water with their root systems, which act like a filter.

We will be planting #ViMoveForClimate trees in the Viessmann forest in Finland. We ensure that the vegetation is suited for the location and matches the natural environment, and we will leave the marsh areas untouched, as they are also important as CO2 reservoirs. We will also manage the forest sustainably, meaning that we will only remove as much wood from the forest as will grow back in the same period. When the wood is processed and used in furniture or construction, harmful greenhouse gasses are stored permanently and kept out of the atmosphere.
