3480 euros for the Brazilian rainforest

Datavard traditionally ends the year with a Christmas campaign in which employees collect money together for a good cause via a self-organized auction. In previous years, the SAP experts met at the Bratislava site in the run-up to Christmas. This year, that was not possible due to corona.

That's why Datavard simply held the auction virtually, in keeping with the year 2020. This had the advantage of allowing colleagues from all over the world to participate, which also resulted in greater proceeds than in previous years. All prizes for this special auction were donated by Datavard employees.

Among other things, homemade wines and honey, a virtual Zumba course or a weekend trip to Switzerland were auctioned off at the event. After the successful raffle, Datavard Senior Management doubled the proceeds to a total of 3480 euros, which were handed over to the Black Jaguar Foundation in January.

The Black Jaguar Foundation is an organization dedicated to saving the Brazilian rainforest and has been supported by Datavard on and off since 2011. It plants native trees to realize the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor, the longest nature corridor on earth.

This produces 20 percent of the world's oxygen and 30 percent of the clean drinking water for the entire planet. Datavard's donation will enable the planting of 3480 trees that will help improve biodiversity, mitigate climate change, conserve critical water resources and offset the global carbon footprint.
