FIGHTING DEFORESTATION

Trees are vitally important to life on this plant. Not only do they help to clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink and provide habitat to over 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity, they perform vital functions around the world and are the most biologically diverse ecosystems on land.

Trees are incredibly important in mitigating climate change, acting as carbon sinks, absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen as part of the photosynthesis process.

While our solar plants require open land, rather than contributing to the deforestation issue in our world, we are actually fighting against it. To preserve these important habitats, our policy is that deforestation should always be avoided. Whenever this is not possible, we replace trees in excess. We also have a dedicated partnership with One Tree Planted and an annual goal to plant 10,000 trees a year, which was exceeded in 2022.
