The Kronospan Foundation continues its commitment to support communities, protect nature and invest in the next generations. Since 2011, our initiatives have focused on creating long-term impact through environmental action, education and cultural preservation.

We are proud to share the progress of our GROW and skill.ED programs for the past year, along with inspiring local community projects that reflect the values at the heart of the Foundation.

Our GROW program

Our project to plant one million saplings each year is a powerful symbol of our investment in the future and a solid, long-term commitment to the communities we serve. Through the GROW program, we reaffirm our dedication to nature while developing the connection and collaboration between our company and the communities in which we live and work.

Local community projects

From shell to story: The art and symbolism of painted eggs in Transylvania

The purpose of this ethnographic documentation project was to make this craft, its beauty, rich meanings, spiritual significance, variety of techniques, and geographical reach known to the public.

In Transylvania, and across Romania, the custom of egg painting is not just a craft – it’s a celebration of the community. With the shell “written” with symbols inherited and learned from elders and matriarchs, each egg becomes a silent story, a small universe rendered in vivid colours of red, yellow, black, green, purple or blue, carrying the memory of those who have passed away and the faith of those yet to come.
