1% For The Trees
In 2014, AET’s CEO & Managing Director, Scott Freiburger, launched the Project Plant a Tree program – later renamed 1% For the Trees in 2019. Through the program, 1% of AET’s annual profits go directly towards planting trees through local and national conservation authorities including Forest’s Ontario and Tree Canada in an effort to re-green natural landscapes across Canada.
Since the launch of the program in 2014, AET has planted 11,883 trees resulting in 747,678 kg of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere, 1,028,058kg of oxygen produced, and allowing 23,766 people across Canada to breathe cleaner air.
