our biodiversity promise

Across the planet, nature faces many threats. The loss of biodiversity is rapidly accelerating due to land use change and deforestation. As a plant-based company we rely on nature for the ecosystem services it provides, which is why we’ve decided to be founding partners in veritree’s 10 million tree challenge.

Our planting sites

We’ve selected three planting sites that align with our brand values. 
mangrove plantation Madagascar
Mangrove Restoration, Madagascar 

Mangrove trees can absorb up to four times more carbon than any other tree. They also provide critical habitat for fish and other wildlife, improving food security, water quality, and protection from major weather events.

Kelp ‘Seaforestation’ BC, Canada 

We’re regenerating bull kelp, an important habitat coordinator for belugas, orcas, and many fish species off the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada. It grows rapidly, sequestering carbon as it spreads across the sea floor.

We’re creating ‘forest gardens’ by planting diverse species that benefit wildlife and localcommunities. This multi-year program will contribute to carbon sequestration and help develop the local food supply.
