“Teleperformance shares our belief that reforestation is a vital step in healing our planet, and we are excited to be partnering with them to further our impact. Through this partnership we will be able to plant more trees and benefit people, nature, and biodiversity.” – Matt Hill, President & Founder at One Tree Planted
Since 2008, Teleperformance has ensured that it operates in an environmentally friendly and responsible manner with its Citizen of the Planet initiative. As an early advocate for climate change action, the company reduces its environmental impact by adopting measures to better prepare it for a carbon-constrained world. Teleperformance’s partnership with One Tree Planted continues this commitment through the restoration of forests and the creation of habitats for biodiversity, making a positive social impact around the world.
“At Teleperformance, we have long recognized how important a commitment to climate change action truly is and our partnership with One Tree Planted reflects that,” said Clémentine Gauthier Medina, Group SVP of Corporate Social Responsibility, Teleperformance Group. “Through our Citizen of the Planet initiative and funding the planting of 500,000 trees, we help contribute to cleaner air, cleaner water, and a better environment for all.”
Other commitments Teleperformance makes on behalf of the planet include climate pledges, science-based target initiatives, supporting clients’ sustainability goals, and encouraging employees and suppliers to reduce their global carbon footprint, among others.
Daniel Julien, Chairman and CEO commented; “Over the decades, Teleperformance has progressively assumed more responsibility for charitable and environmental causes in the communities where we live and work and for the world in general. We only have one planet and we all need to protect it for our following generations. As citizens of the planet, Teleperformance is very happy to support this critical One Tree Planted reforestation initiative.”
