The Forest
For many years now, Institut Marquès has been engaged in the environmental
cause. This is why we have been conducting many studies since 2002 regarding
pollution and the impact it has on the sperm quality and fertility. According to our
research, the toxic substances (endocrine disruptors) and the environmental
pollution are directly connected to the increase of infertility in the most
industrialised areas.
After having demonstrated the impact of pollution on health and infertility, Institut
Marquès decided to make its contribution by fighting pollution in its very own way.
This is why, back in 2018, we created the "Forest of Embryos", a Corporate Social
Responsibility project conducted in collaboration with the ecological organisation
L’Escurçó in Tarragona. Since then, we have planted a tree for every new birth made
possible through our IVF treatments. Today, thanks to Treedom this forest becomes
a GLOBAL FOREST.
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
The trees in the forest will absorb:
398.60 t* of CO₂
