EXAMPLE: "I’ve always believed that creating spaces for people goes hand in hand with caring for the world those spaces exist in. At Drisag, sustainability isn’t just a box to tick—it’s a responsibility we feel deeply. That’s why I’m so proud to be part of the reforestation project in Balen. For me, it’s about more than planting trees. It’s about giving something back to the local community, restoring the land, and doing our part to shape a healthier, greener future."
