"Our ancestors looked after the mountain forest with foresight and humility. Our forests protect us from natural hazards, provide clean water, secure wood as a raw material and give us space for leisure and recreation. Now it is up to us to take responsibility for the next generation. Help us to do so!"
Enrico Uffer
CEO UFFER GROUP
Initiator Pignaverde Foundation
The following companies are founding donors of the Pignaverde Foundation:
The Foundation Board currently consists of three representatives of the founding donors:
The activities of the Pignaverde Foundation are subject to the supervision of:
The administrative costs are borne entirely by the founders. All donated funds are used in the sustainability projects and in Pignaverde's Foundation Fund.
All projects are reviewed by experts from the associations and institutions listed above and classified as worthy of support according to their expected impact. The projects of the Pignaverde Foundation are not subsidized by state, cantonal or municipal authorities and cannot be realized without voluntary donations.
30 percent of the area of the canton of Graubünden is forest. To date, however, very little wood from Graubünden's forests has been cut and processed regionally. This will change with the vision Resurses2025.
With the actions of our founders and partners, the resource forest of Graubünden is transformed into regional added value and the wood processing chain in Graubünden is completed.
"If our forest is to continue to perform its many functions for society in the future, it needs to be looked after. I like the fact that the Pignaverde Foundation supports and promotes the principle of sustainable forest management."

Behind "pigna verde" are many heads. They are co-initiators who take on a sponsorship and thus support the projects ideally and economically. There are volunteers who care about a particular project and support it financially. It is the forest workers, the foresters, the cantonal forestry offices, the communities and the forest owners who organize and make possible the projects together with the project leaders. It is the nature lovers who enjoy working in the impassable terrain of the mountain forest. It is the foundation board that drives pigna verde forward with great commitment and continuously develops it further.
