We are part of the 1 Million Trees Challenge for a climate-positive world

According to the WWF, around 13 million hectares of forest disappear every year due to deforestation. By 2030, this would mean a loss of up to 170 million hectares of forest, an area roughly equivalent to the combined size of Germany, France, Spain, and Portugal. This poses not only a local, but above all a global problem.

Therefore, it is now time to act and let deeds speak louder than words. For this reason, MAWA has committed itself to the United Nations' 2030 Agenda, whose 17 goals pursue sustainable development and positive objectives on an economic, social, and environmental level. "We see a good opportunity to make a further contribution through the 'Treellionaire' campaign," says Schenk. The goal of the Treellionaire project is to plant one million trees.

The project thus aligns with the goals of the 2030 Agenda in several respects. By reforesting threatened forests, it not only promotes measures to combat climate change, but also aims to preserve biodiversity and simultaneously fight economic inequality. We selected the "Treellionaire" project as our charity initiative because it is a trustworthy partner that operates in line with our principles of sustainability.

From now on, with every purchase in our online shop, you have the opportunity to contribute to this project. At checkout, you will have the option to plant a tree upon completion of your order, thus supporting Trellionaire's three different projects in Asia, Africa, and Central America.

Our managing director, Michaela Schenk, has also arranged for 10 trees to be planted for each of our 90 MAWA employees, because on average 10 trees can absorb one ton of CO₂.
