Hopestaler workshops: pioneers for sustainability in the Barnim Nature Park

Hopestaler Werkstätten gGmbH in Biesenthal recently received a remarkable award. At the Board of Trustees meeting of the Barnim Nature Park on November 7th, the company was honored as the first certified nature park partner. This recognition appreciates the workshops' long-term commitment to the areas of sustainability, climate protection and regional value creation. How Barnim Current reports, the connection to the nature park has been in place for over 20 years and is supported by the nature conservation cup.

The Conservation Cup was launched over a decade ago, in 2013, with proceeds going directly to the park's conservation projects. This is part of the Hopestaler Workshops concept, which promotes not only ecological but also social responsibility. Every time a customer buys a productLobetal organic dairyIf you buy something, three cents of the sales go to nature conservation projects.

Commitment to inclusion and regional development

An important concern of the Hope Valley Workshops is promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities. The company has made it its mission to combine economic success with social recognition. How Brandenburg Future Prize notes, the company has shown continuous sales growth in recent years, which proves its economic success.

The Hope Valley workshops are characterized not only by their social and economic projects, but also by their agricultural activities. They run an organic gardening business and offer contract work in wood processing and sewing. The organic dairy also produces regional organic milk products, which are part of its corporate philosophy. This provides a breath of fresh air in the region!

The practical implementation of sustainability

Another highlight of the Hope Valley workshops is the sustainable application in agriculture. Food for the animals comes from the foundation's own land and the milk for the popular “Lobetaler organic yoghurt” also comes from our own cows and reliable regional suppliers. By planting old fruit trees and installing photovoltaic systems, it is clear that the workshop team is particularly concerned about the careful use of resources.

Through these projects and initiatives, the Heldentaler Werkstätten have contributed to the sustainable development of the region for over 30 years. The calendar of events, which includes offers such as sales markets and Advent crafts, attracts numerous visitors every year and shows how lively and appealing the commitment to sustainability can be.

With its award as the first certified nature park partner, Hopestaler Werkstätten gGmbH is well on its way to becoming a role model for other companies in the region. This shows that cooperation and commitment in combination with regional thinking not only have a positive impact on the environment, but also promise economic success.
