Nature photo app contest

Biodiversity has not gained as much attention as climate change, but it is important to build awareness around the importance of healthy ecosystems and a rich flora and fauna.

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 also during 2025, showcasing nature on Vattenfall’s sites.
