Partnering with Climate Impact Partners, LEGO is supporting reforestation in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (USA) by purchasing carbon credits. Managed by GreenTrees, the initiative aims to reforest over 400,000 hectares, enhancing biodiversity, reducing flood risks, and improving water quality.
“This is a leading example of how the private sector can drive real impact,” said Sheri Hickok, CEO of Climate Impact Partners. “LEGO’s investment will channel finance to solutions that go beyond value chain impact.”
