In recent years, wildfires have burned large stretches of native forest in the region of Lago Puelo, in the Andean Patagonia. In May 2026, through Plantarse's Club del Clima programme, Kallpa funded the planting of 300 coihues (Nothofagus dombeyi), one of the defining trees of the Andean Patagonian forest, in Mallín Ahogado, Río Negro.
The programme starts from our carbon footprint: the number of trees is set in proportion to the emissions of our direct operation, as a contribution to restoring native forest. The species are chosen by local specialists for protected native forest, each planting and its projected carbon capture are tracked in Club del Clima's digital forest, and the process is verified externally by Certifylab. On 27 May, members of our team joined the planting day.
Earlier in the month, on 5 May, the Kallpa team in Buenos Aires spent the day with Plantarse at the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, on the edge of the city: an introduction to urban biodiversity, a guided planting of native species chosen for that ecosystem, with nothing ornamental or exotic, and a conversation about what companies can do to restore urban environments.
Supporting the restoration of native forest is one of the commitments in our Sustainability Policy, and we intend to continue it in the years ahead.
