The Forest
The Skechers DE forest was launched in September 2019 and comprises 450 trees. Trees are being planted in all existing Treedom projects worldwide and each tree contributes to global climate equalization. Behind each of the 450 trees there is a tree sponsor, a person invited by Skechers exclusively to accompany this tree as it grows up (digitally) and to make sure that the tree develops to the best it could, from tree nursery to the first fruit.
In addition to this beautiful & sustainable gesture to the recipient, as well as the global CO2 balance, we also support the local farmers with the Skechers forest. They receive education and training, financial support for planting and can also use the harvest as a source of income.
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:
131.90 t* of CO₂
