The Greenstyle Foundation is a non-profit organization – a cooperation of the White Arena Group as well as committed people and enterprises of the holiday destination Flims Laax Falera. It is dedicated to the preservation and protection of our environment.
Why does the foundation exist?
When we’re not working in LAAX, we’re out in nature. We enjoy freshly snowed-in slopes, biking remote single trails, climbing mountains or fishing on a wild stretch of river. We always find out that our nature is unique and that it is our duty to protect it.
What happens to the money?
With the donated money we support charitable projects in the holiday destination LAAX and the whole region.
We support projects that
- Promote environmental education and research
- protect the climate and reduce the negative effects of climate change
- promote environmentally friendly technologies and renewable energies.
- reduce harmful emissions
- ensure sustainable use of natural resources
- serve to keep the region clean and prevent waste from being improperly disposed of or thrown away in public spaces
- protect and develop ecosystems with their flora and fauna as well as natural recreation areas and nature parks or lead to more nature in the settlement area

- facilitate the social integration of marginalised, disabled or sick persons
