Planting Trees for a Greener Tomorrow

September 2023 - Go to the Advance Now Forest

We're committed to enhancing vision and nurturing a sustainable future for generations ahead. This year, we've added 200 more trees to our ADVANCE NOW FOREST in partnership with Treedom, bringing our two-year total to 400 trees. These trees will collectively absorb an impressive 130,700 kilograms of CO2 in the first 10 years of their lifetime.

With Treedom's agroforestry projects, we pursue 10 out of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDG) set by the United Nations member states for 2030. Treedom projects aim to have a positive impact not only on the environment they intervene in but also on the people who inhabit it. This is why project areas are located in developing countries, where the benefits of trees can truly make a difference. Communities are built step by step, acquiring skills that they can in turn pass on to others, and all the trees planted remain the property of the farmers who take care of them. Fruit trees, in particular, enrich their diet and offer them an income opportunity through sales in local markets. Explore the map below to discover the precise locations of our thriving trees.

Treedom is the first platform in the world that allows you to plant a tree from a distance and follow the story of the project online. Since Treedom’s foundation in 2010, more than 3 million trees have been planted across Africa, South America and Asia. All trees are planted directly by local farmers, bringing environmental, social and financial benefits to their communities. In 2014, Treedom became a certified B Corporation, part of the global network of companies that stand out for high environmental and social performance.

I'm proud of Advance Medical's commitment to immediate action for a brighter future. It's vital to remember that even the smallest actions contribute to a better environment for all our stakeholders. In our industry, there's a collective responsibility to do more to sustain environmental issues. Our collaboration with Treedom not only aligns with our vision but also supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reinforcing our sustainability commitment.
