EY Belgium pledges to plant two trees for every EY employee in Belgium and in doing so adds no less than 5000 trees to a new forest in Ostend.
EY has partnered with the Life Terra Foundation and their local partner Bos+ for this tree planting campaign. “Life Terra wants to bring people together to plant 500 million trees, and enable citizens to take concrete action against the climate crisis. Fortunately, we can count on companies like EY to support us. EY has made a tremendous effort to fund tree planting campaigns in no fewer than 114 countries”, says Limore Noach, director of the Life Terra Foundation.
Even though our commitment is clear, we rely on the afforestation expertise of partners such as Life Terra and Bos+. By finding land to plant they have enabled us to better assume our social responsibility and to provide more woodland. It is a win-win for all parties and for the world we live in.
However, the tree planting campaign is only one of many sustainability initiatives EY is taking. In addition we are fully committed to cutting back business travel and greening our company fleet with the aim of a 70% hybrid of fully electric fleet within three years. Firmly embedding teleworking and virtual meetings into our company culture is another concrete example of our efforts towards a more sustainable future.
