A tree for you & a forest for all
This year we’re planting the first seeds of The Kendu Forest. A forest planted by you all, our clients and our collaborators. It’s an initiative that’s grown out of Kendu’s desire and commitment to make a positive impact not just in our immediate surroundings but on a global scale.
The Kendu Forest aims to create a greener future not only by absorbing CO2 but by creating food security, helping with economic development, and providing environmental protection for those at risk.
It’s time to care not only of ourselves and those around us, but of the environment as well. It’s time for The Kendu Forest.
Our virtual forest
If you’ve already adopted a tree you can access the Kendu Virtual Forest.
The Virtual Kendu Forest will grow as our trees are planted in real life. As each tree is adopted by our clientes and collaborators and planted in real life, a virtual tree will be “planted” in the virtual forest. Growing alongside each other The Kendu Forest, both physical and virtual, demonstrates just how from the smallest of seeds, big trees can grow. You can now see your tree without leaving your desk.
