Through our collaboration with Ecologi | B Corp™, we've planted 23,570 trees and invested in 30 sustainability projects worldwide. Together, we're tackling the climate crisis and creating a future where people, planet, and progress thrive. One of the projects we're proud to have supported is the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station in Morocco. This ground-breaking solar project not only generates 750 GWh of clean energy annually – with storage to deliver power even after sunset – but also uplifts the local community by creating 7,000 jobs, providing health services, and supporting education with initiatives like a school minibus to reduce drop-out rates. Great work Ecologi! #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction #Sustainability #PlantTrees
