Why commit to forests?
Forests are one of the most effective solutions to combat the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss while promoting human development. For a company or local authority, committing to forests is therefore a guarantee of a strong Social and Environmental Return on Investment.
With Planète Urgence, you don’t just plant trees, you restore these precious ecosystems and work to protect them in the long term by involving local communities and addressing the root causes of deforestation in our areas of operation.
Climate
Alongside the oceans, forests are the most important ecosystem for effectively combating climate change: they store carbon from the atmosphere and regulate the climate, the water cycle, and soil fertility.
Biodiversity
80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity is found in forests, with two-thirds of it located in tropical forests.
Humans
More than 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods, representing over 21% of the global population.
How to get involved?
Our teams work with each company to build the partnership that best meets their engagement objectives:
Protect and restore endangered forests
Through direct sponsorship, support for reforestation with the “€1 = 1 tree planted” program, rounding up at checkout or on salary, or even 1% for the Planet, Planète Urgence enables you to support all its actions or specifically earmark certain projects or intervention areas. Our teams analyze your needs to offer you the best engagement solution.
Engage your employees through Congé Solidaire®
Your employees can all contribute in their own way to support our projects!
Through its unique Congé Solidaire® program, Planète Urgence offers to engage your employees by participating in international volunteering missions during their time off.
Contribute to carbon neutrality
Through its Climate Philanthropy program and unique carbon tracking methodology, Planète Urgence enables you to highlight the carbon sequestration impact of the projects you support by integrating them into your strategy as part of your climate contribution.
