THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Thanks to your symbolic adoption of this polar bear, we can protect this animal and its environment even better.
Dearest colleagues,
This Christmas, we decided to embrace the spirit of giving by supporting the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
We have chosen a specific form of support through the purchase of an adoption package! This way we support three remarkable animal species: the panda, polar bear, and tiger.
As an organization that holds sustainability in high regard, we believe this donation will have a positive impact on preserving our planet.
As a sign of this donation, this year each employee will receive an adoption package, containing a stuffed animal and information about the specie it supports.
Moreover, the box itself can be transformed into postcards, so nothing will be wasted.
Let's all make a difference together and create a more sustainable future!
A big thank you to everyone for 2023, and we look forward to continuing together in the new year!

In the booklet you can read why your help is so important and how together we can care for nature and its inhabitants.
On this page you can read the English translation of the text in the booklet.
A SPRING WHITE ATTACK
A snow-white polar bear prowls around the rugged and icy North Pole. His strong nose leads him in the direction of a large group of seals.
It is high time to replenish its fat reserves. Because soon he will have to go 3 to 4 months without food. His eyes are focused on one seal in the group.
Step by step he comes closer. It is now or never. He presses his paws into the snow to be able to push off properly. Faster and faster he moves through the thick snow...
The group of seals splits apart. He now smells his prey very strongly, the last push he needs!
AN ENDANGERED SPECIES
The biggest threat to the polar bear is climate change. Due to rising temperatures, the sea ice is melting rapidly. At this rate, within one generation, most of the Arctic will be ice-free in summer. Although polar bears are good swimmers, they cannot survive at the North Pole without ice.

TAKE ACTION
There are fewer and fewer fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles in the world. Their habitat is rapidly being destroyed by agriculture and infrastructure. Hunting and poaching, overfishing, environmental pollution and climate change are also major threats. Polar bears also suffer from this.
Fortunately, there is also good news, because we can reverse this situation within 10 years. But then everyone has to contribute in his or her own way.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
If we take good care of nature together, nature will take good care of us.

BE ONE WITH NATURE
If you take good care of nature, you also take good care of yourself.
For us, nature is not opposed to humans, but we are an inseparable part of it. We love plants, animals and people in all their diversity.
We are nature!
The booklet in the WWF adoption package is made of elephant grass. That plant grows in the Netherlands and is very environmentally friendly.
