Million Mangroves

Mangroves “the wonder tree” can store four times more carbon than a rainforest, but globally more than 35% have already been deforested.

Climate Impact Partners, a merger of Natural Capital Partners and ClimateCare, created the Million Mangroves program to showcase companies' commitment to climate action today and deliver immediate results by financing one of the highest impact climate and blue carbon solutions available.

By supporting the Million Mangroves program, SITA can show its commitment to corporate responsibility in the broadest sense going beyond carbon emissions to also restoring the local ecosystem, providing jobs and supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
