Moore Global & Treedom partnership sets roots for CSR goals

Moore Global & Treedom partnership sets roots for CSR goals

International accountancy network, Moore Global and Treedom, one of the world’s most successful tree planting platforms, have joined forces to plant hundreds of trees around the globe as part of Moore’s international Social Ambition strategy.

The initiative, which was launched at Moore’s Global Managing Partner conference in Barcelona last week, has been set up to meet the firms’ environmental targets by planting hundreds of trees in sites including Colombia, Ghana and Kenya, with a three-year agreement to continue the work with Treedom on an ongoing basis. 
The first partners’ conference for the network in three years was used as a launchpad for this global environmental strategy, with four trees being planted for each delegate that attended the event. With 176 delegates attending from the 56 countries Moore have offices in, over 800 trees are being planted now, with individual firms also pledging to plant additional trees going forward.

The action is part of Moore Global’s commitment to help people thrive, both within the network and the communities they live and work in. Social Ambition is the company’s global, network-wide strategy to deliver positive social impact, tying in with five themes – quality & supply chain; our natural world; equity, diversion & inclusion; community care and education; and people & development. These themes were developed in alignment with the 17 Sustainability Development Goals set out by the United Nations and underlined by a pledge to be a driving force for positive social impact.

CEO of Moore Global, Anton Colella, said:

“Our network extends throughout the world, so it’s vital we care for all the communities in which we live and work while we go about our everyday business.  As well as looking after our planet, our research has clearly shown the business benefits of environmental awareness and action – and as a global business it’s our job to lead the way.”

Kate Hill. Chair of Moore Global’s Social Ambition programme added:

“Through our new partnership with Treedom, which I hope will continue to grow in the future, Moore Global will have a long-term environmental impact which mirrors our CSR ethics.
“It’s important to us as an advisory company that our clients and network see the authentic actions and thought we take that reflect the guidance we provide to individual businesses.”

Partnerships Manager at Treedom, Fay Loosley, said:

“We are incredibly excited to embark on a long-term partnership with Moore Global this year. Sustained commitments like this from responsible companies like Moore Global help us in our mission to green the planet at the scale and speed we need. We are delighted to engage their employees and partner firms around the world.”

Treedom is the first global platform that allows businesses and users to plant trees around the world and to follow the projects online. They have worked with over 9,700 corporations and 985,000 consumers, and since 2010 have planted over 3 million trees.
