Once we had achieved our 100 million trees target, we decided to rename our planting programme. The initiative is now called PLANT FOR LIFE : a new name to reflect our new ambitions. Because together, the adventure is set to continue!
GOAL: 135 MILLION TREES
Our aim is to plant an additional 35 million trees by 2025, working hand-in-hand with our partner NGOs around the world and getting younger generations more closely involved. For they have a key role to play in taking action and raising awareness about the importance of reforestation.
We are nothing without trees. They are essential for future generations and for life itself. Together, let’s plant for life.
Founder of the Yves Rocher Foundation, and planter
We have thousands of volunteers on the front line, a huge, proactive tribe working to restore greenery to our planet, one tree at a time. And although each country and every NGO we support has its own specific planting issues, we decided to draw up a Manifesto together with a small group of our planters. The PLANT FOR LIFE Manifesto outlines how we are working together to plant trees that will go on to foster life.

WHY PLANT TREES?
100 reasons and more to plant trees…
Some of these reasons are universal, others are more personal. Some may be rooted in ecology, and others in the economy. Some benefit humankind, while others serve the animal kingdom. Some are national, others regional, and some will yield results for today, while others will bear fruit in the future. All of them foster life. What about you? What might inspire you to plant a tree?
