LEADING EMPLOYERS 2025: Osterreichische Bundesforste AG Ranks Among Austria’s TOP 1% of Employers

The Austrian Federal Forests are Austria's nature company. The approximately 1,000 employees care for, protect and manage the natural resources owned by the Republic - forests, lakes and mountains - sustainably, responsibly and in the interests of all. We look after every tenth square meter of forest and nature in our country, including 15 % of the forest areas and 74 of the larger lakes. Nature conservation regulations apply to around half of these areas, and around a third of the forests in the mountains are designated as protection forests. This is a special responsibility. Sustainability is therefore the central guiding principle of the company: no more is taken from nature than will grow back. Ecological, economic and social interests are constantly evaluated and balanced in the best possible way for the common good. The company's core business is forestry with the associated hunting and fishing activities. The business areas of real estate, services and renewable energy are becoming increasingly important for the company's success.
