Artevasi Olive Grove

We’ve joined the apadrinhaumaoliveira.org initiative and sponsored an olive grove in Abrantes, Portugal. Together, we’re restoring a forest of great significance, preserving the lives of 143 olive trees. As well as restoring these abandoned olive trees, our mission is to ensure the continuity of biodiversity and increase CO₂ capture.

20 years, 20 initiatives

To celebrate Artevasi’s 20th anniversary, we have decided to offer our employees a package of experiences, ranging from volunteering and family to environmental conservation and physical and mental wellbeing.
