Hrvatske šume (Croatian Forests)
Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. (Croatian Forests) is a company responsible for managing forests and forest land owned by the Republic of Croatia. Forests hold significant value and serve essential utility functions, including the direct economic benefits derived from wood production, which positively impact people's lives. Consequently, forests in Croatia receive special state protection due to their importance. The mission and goals of Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. revolve around ensuring the best and highest quality management of this entrusted resource in the long term. To achieve this, the company strives to meet the wishes, needs, and expectations of various stakeholders, including the state as the owner, buyers, woodworkers, suppliers, employees, local self-governments, and the general public. Forest management in Croatia adheres to the principle of sustainability, a practice that has been in place for over two and a half centuries. Sustainability entails harvesting less wood mass from the forest than it naturally grows, ensuring the forest's survival and preserving its natural balance. Given the current global climate change situation, forests have become increasingly critical in mitigating the effects of climate change.
