Our Commitment to the Planet

We believe that all of us have a responsibility to care for and protect our planet. That’s why in 2020 we partnered with Ecologi and in 2021 partnered with Play it Green to improve our businesses sustainability practices and have a more positive impact on the world.

Tree Planting & Carbon Reduction

Each month we’ll be planting native and diverse trees in Madagascar, Mozambique or Nicaragua. The planting projects, carried out by Eden Reforestation, help to support communities and reduce poverty by employing local workers.

Ecologi climate projects include renewable energy generation, forest protection, and community initiatives such as providing access to clean water.
