Ambius
Ambius has joined forces with Cool Earth to prevent the release of more than 22,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere by protecting rainforest in Peru.
As the largest provider of interior plant displays for commercial and public buildings, Ambius looks after millions of plants in thousands of buildings across the globe many of which would have once originated from the Amazon.
Kenneth Freeman, Sustainably Green programme, Ambius;
"The opportunity for Ambius to invest in rainforest with Cool Earth came about after the company was accredited for its commitment to sustainability by Planet Positive. This certification provides a funding mechanism for environmental and community engagement beyond the boundaries of a business. Ambius's chosen investment into Cool Earth provides a direct link between the company and the Peruvian Amazon, cutting CO2 emissions whilst providing a sustainable livelihood for the communities and wildlife in the region."
This exciting partnership will help prevent various species of plant from being lost to deforestastion.
Matthew Owen, Director, Cool Earth;
"We think it would be a tragedy if, in the future, the only places to see tropical plants are the insides of office buildings and the greenhouses of botanic gardens. To us, sustainability is more than about climate change - important that it is, and we are delighted to be associated with a programme that takes a holistic view of the protection of our planet and its ecosystems."
