The UAE launches new global tree-planting initiative

As part of Kyndryl’s global sustainability program, employees at IT infrastructure services provider Kyndryl in the UAE gathered to plant trees with One Tree Planted, a non-profit 501 charity, and Companies for Good, a UAE social enterprise. 

Together, the team planted nearly 150 of what the UAE declared a national tree in 2008, the Ghaf, which goes by the scientific name Prosopis cineraria.

The program, in partnership with One Tree Planted, involves planting 88,728 trees around the world. 

Each tree planted represents a Kyndryl professional and the roots they are establishing to help grow the new company.

The outdoor plantings enable employees in more than 60 countries to come together in the spirit of camaraderie and establish strong kinship with each other and the critical roles they play in powering human progress.
