HessenForst is a commercially oriented state enterprise that has developed from the traditional Hessian State Forest Administration. The company is committed to the common good and sees itself as a sustainable production and service company.
HessenForst offers a variety of products and services, including the marketing of forest products such as sustainably harvested firewood from local forests. Customers can choose between wood in stock and wood on the way, with the wood on the way often coming from thinning stands[2]. In addition to wood marketing, HessenForst also performs forestry authority tasks and offers research services[1].
The mission of HessenForst is based on the vision of promoting permanence, vitality and growth through the sustainable use of natural resources. The company is committed to providing public services for people and nature by ensuring the protection, near-natural care and environmentally sound use of the Hessian forest[1]. HessenForst attaches great importance to cooperation with partners and the needs of its customers, who consist of wood buyers, forest owners, citizens and authorities[1].
Sustainability is the central principle of forestry activities at HessenForst. The company strives for ecological, social and economic sustainability and is committed to preserving natural resources. These goals are anchored in the guiding principle "Protection and Use" of Agenda 21, which is based on the resolutions of the Rio World Environment Conference in 1992[1]. Through close cooperation with organizations such as the Holzbau Cluster Hessen, the regional economy is strengthened and timber construction is promoted as a sustainable construction method[3].
HessenForst is also committed to promoting innovation and efficiency through quality management and controlling in order to continuously improve its processes[1]. The employees are central to the success of the company and are supported through targeted personnel development[1].
