Ashland Furthers ESG Agenda and Supports The Nature Conservancy Forest Restoration Effort
WILMINGTON, DE — Ashland Global Holdings Inc. recently announced the company's commitment to support a collaborative forest restoration effort of The Nature Conservancy to help Plant a Billion Trees by 2030, advancing the broader development goals of the United Nations, specifically the Sustainable Development Goal for Life on Land.
Ashland's donation of $20,000 will be used to plant approximately 10,000 trees in Brazil, China, Mexico and the United States. These are key regions where Ashland operates and there is need for reforestation and sustainable farming education. Mature trees can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Once mature, these plantings could result in up to 480,000 pounds of carbon dioxide offsets annually, according to the Arbor Day Foundation.
