The primary goal is to enhance awareness, advance scientific knowledge, and promote environmental protection. Additionally, the app allows employees to participate in the annual Nature Photography Contest, where an internal jury selects the best images for people to vote on. A range of photographs have been submitted, showcasing nature on Vattenfall’s sites.
