This year, we've expanded our reach and deepened our impact across multiple dimensions of environmental and social change. Under the Impact Hero banner, we've not only continued our commitment to reforestation but also broadened our focus to encompass a wider range of impactful initiatives.
Our growth has been remarkable, both in terms of our projects and our community. We've inspired over 600 companies to join our mission, planting an impressive 2.7 million trees. This effort has created 27,000 days of work in the Global South.
Our newest initiatives showcase our commitment to holistic environmental restoration. We've restored 300 corals, protected 3 million square metres of forests, provided over 5,900 hours of education and collected 12,000 kg of plastic from our environment. These efforts demonstrate our expanded focus beyond reforestation, allowing us to address more Sustainable Development Goals and support organizations in the Global South doing invaluable work to safeguard communities, mitigate climate change, and enhance social justice.
Impact Report 2024 showcases the significant strides we've made. We've collaborated with 20+ project partners spanning more than 30 countries., demonstrating the power of collective action. Our community has grown too, with over 109,000 trees replacing traditional gifts, showing a shift towards more meaningful and impactful choices.
Impact report represents not just our progress over the past year, but also our vision for the future. It highlights how our impact has expanded both internally and externally, touching lives and ecosystems across the globe. We invite you to explore our journey and join us in shaping a better tomorrow.
