Let’s Plant 1 Million Trees Together
10th April, 2024
Last April, we shared our goal of planting one million trees over two years. Now it’s time to grow the forest we’ve started. 100% of proceeds from Cotton On Foundation product and donations this month will support global tree-planting projects where they’re needed most.
From seeds in the ground to forests of the future, every tree counts. Your contributions will help restore wildlife habitats and create a healthier climate for all. Last year, in collaboration with our partners One Tree Planted and WWF-Singapore (and thanks to you – our global team and customers), we raised funds to plant over 422,000 trees in Uganda, Brazil, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand!
This month, we hope to raise the remaining funds to reach our one million tree target. Check out the projects we’re supporting below:
