[ KRIVÁŇ PROJECT, RECONNECT WITH NATURE ] 500+ people. One iconic mountain trail. A shared commitment to nature. 🏔️

After a year of work led by Hikemates, the restored trail from Tri studničky to Kriváň in Slovakia is reopening.

As Lotte Kragelund says: “The Kriváň project reflects what Reconnect with Nature is all about: bringing people closer to nature and encouraging them to care for the places they value.”

A big thank you to the Hikemates team, all volunteers and partners, and our colleagues from VELUX SLOVENSKO and Partizánske Building Components who helped bring the project to life. 💚

[ ELDERLY RESIDENCE SUPPORT ] A new electric tricycle is creating more opportunities for residents of a care home in Bourbonne-les-Bains, France, to get outdoors and enjoy a change of scenery. 💜
With support from the Employee Foundation, Association L’ARBBRE 52 was able to purchase the tricycle, which includes space for a wheelchair and helps make outings more accessible for elderly residents.

A simple ride can offer much more than mobility – it can bring fresh air, new experiences and meaningful moments outside the everyday routine.
We are glad to support an initiative that contributes to the wellbeing and quality of life of seniors in the local community.

When thousands of steps lead in the same direction, they can take us somewhere meaningful.

Today, we celebrated the conclusion of Live a Dream 2026 in Slovakia, with the handover of renovation works at a social centre in Dobšiná, and a €100,000 donation to Habitat for Humanity Europe & Middle East.

Behind more than 42 million steps are 727 colleagues, 18 volunteers, and a local community working together towards safer, better living conditions.

Thank you to everyone who walked, volunteered, supported and cheered. 42 million steps became one shared achievement.

07/10/2026

Halfway through the Live a Dream week with Habitat for Humanity Europe & Middle East: dusty clothes, tired arms and plenty of smiles.

Our volunteers arrived from eight different countries, from VELUX and DOVISTA, but shared work and purpose are quickly turning them into one team. Every repaired wall and fresh coat of paint brings this meeting place closer to becoming a warmer environment for local families in Slovakia.

05/10/2026

Eighteen volunteers. One shared purpose. One unforgettable week.

Today, our Live a Dream 2026 volunteers from VELUX and DOVISTA are rolling up their sleeves in Slovakia.

Together with Habitat for Humanity Europe and the Middle East, they will help renovate a social centre supporting young families in Slovakia, while colleagues across VKR Group are putting their steps to good use through the Donate Your Step initiative.

Follow their journey throughout the week and see what we can achieve when we work together.

Keep moving. Keep giving back.
What if your daily walk could help create safer homes and better living conditions for families in need?

From 1–8 October 2026, colleagues across the VKR Group are invited to take part in Donate Your Steps — a walking challenge that turns everyday movement into meaningful support.

At the same time, 18 Live a Dream volunteers from the VKR Group will travel to Dobšiná, Slovakia, to renovate a social centre together with Habitat for Humanity Europe and Middle East. Their work will help improve indoor and outdoor spaces for young parents and children affected by intergenerational poverty in the Roma community.

Donate Your Steps is a simple way for all of us to be part of this shared effort.

💙 It supports your own health and wellbeing.
💙 It connects colleagues across teams and countries.
💙 It helps bring care, dignity, and safer spaces to communities that need long-term support.

Together, we can keep moving — and keep giving back.

Gąsawka Valley, Poland: together, we are opening new paths to nature.

We are proud to support the “Gąsawka Valley” project, carried out in partnership with the Gołąbki Forest District as part of the Reconnect with Nature program.

Behind this support stand our employees. Their ideas, energy and willingness to take part make it possible for the Employee Foundation to provide a grant of EUR 200,000 to an initiative that brings education, nature and the local community closer. Through this project, children, local residents, visitors, and VELUX employees and their families will have a place to learn, recharge and connect with nature.

The project includes:

🌿 the construction of a wooden educational shelter and a birdwatching tower along the “Gąsawka Valley” nature trail;

🌿 support for the construction of a year-round Ecological Education Room in Annowo.

The new infrastructure will form part of an approximately 14-kilometre route stretching from the sources of the Gąsawka River.

Dolina Gąsawki, Polska: razem otwieramy nowe ścieżki do natury.

Z radością wspieramy projekt „Dolina Gąsawki”, realizowany we współpracy z Nadleśnictwem Gołąbki w ramach programu Reconnect with Nature.

Za tym wsparciem stoją nasi pracownicy. To ich pomysły, energia i gotowość do działania sprawiają, że Employee Foundation może przekazać grant w wysokości 200 000 EUR na inicjatywę, która przybliża do siebie edukację, przyrodę i lokalną społeczność. Dzięki temu projekt pomoże stworzyć miejsce, w którym dzieci, mieszkańcy, turyści oraz pracownicy VELUX i ich rodziny będą mogli uczyć się, odpoczywać i być bliżej natury.

Projekt obejmuje:

🌿 budowę drewnianej wiaty edukacyjnej i wieży obserwacyjnej przy ścieżce przyrodniczej „Dolina Gąsawki”;

🌿 wsparcie budowy całorocznej Ekologicznej Sali Edukacyjnej w Annowie.

Nowa infrastruktura będzie częścią około 14-kilometrowej trasy prowadzącej od źródeł rzeki Gąsawki.

Wierzymy, że trwała zmiana powstaje dzięki partnerstwu. „Dolina Gąsawki” to kolejny krok w stronę długofalowej współpracy, która pomaga większej liczbie osób uczyć się od natury, cieszyć się nią i troszczyć się o nią.

[ VAL DI FIEMME PROJECT, RECONNECT WITH NATURE ] In the heart of the Dolomites, a new chapter of nature restoration has begun. 🌿

Together with ETIFOR, WOWnature and colleagues from VELUX Italy, we marked the launch of a new Reconnect with Nature project in Val di Fiemme, focused on restoring local landscapes, supporting biodiversity and strengthening the connection between people and nature.

The project goes beyond planting trees – it is about creating healthier ecosystems and supporting a future where local communities and nature can thrive together.

We are grateful to everyone who has contributed their knowledge, energy, and commitment to bringing this project forward. 💙
