DANISH ENDURANCE FOREST PROJECTS
IT STARTS AT HOME, AND EVERY CONTRIBUTION MATTERS.
In 2024, we launched the DANISH ENDURANCE FOREST PROJECT - our long-term commitment to restoring nature, strengthening biodiversity and reducing carbon emissions.
DANISH ENDURANCE® was founded in Denmark in 2013 at the family farm, Gramrodegaard, by brothers Nicolaj Due and Ole Christoffer Due. It was only natural that our commitment to creating a lasting environmental impact would begin where our own story started.
Our team, representing more than 25 nationalities, came together to plant the first trees of Gramrode Forest 1, marking the beginning of the DANISH ENDURANCE FOREST PROJECT.
Today, Gramrode Forest 1 is thriving across 12 hectares. In May 2026, Gramrode Forest 2, covering an additional 8.3 hectares, was planted again with the help and engagement of our team.
Together, the two forests are home to approximately 62,600 trees across 20.3 hectares and are expected to capture an average of more than 180 tonnes of CO₂ annually over the next 100 years.
The DANISH ENDURANCE FOREST PROJECT also include a large meadow, restored water streams and beehives that support local biodiversity
CEO & Founder Nicolaj Due
"It has been an incredible experience to see the DANISH ENDURANCE FOREST PROJECT come to life together with our employees. Watching Gramrode Forest 1 take root and expanding it with Gramrode Forest 2 is something we are incredibly proud of. Together, the forests will protect groundwater, strengthen biodiversity, and contribute to reducing carbon emissions for generations to come. We have also expanded our biodiversity efforts by adding more beehives, and we are already planning the next forest.”
Founder Ole Christoffer Due
"I am proud that we continue to invest locally, right where DANISH ENDURANCE® was founded. Expanding the DANISH ENDURANCE FOREST PROJECT with Gramrode Forest 2 reflects our long-term commitment to the place our family has called home for more than a hundred years, while creating lasting value for nature and future generations.”
The symbol of the DANISH ENDURANCE FOREST PROJECT is the oak tree. Like DANISH ENDURANCE® the oak tree embodies strength, endurance, and resilience due to its strong roots and sturdy appearance.
