100% of the top five threats to global prosperity identified by the World Economic Forum’s 2020 Global Risk Report were environmental.
These threats would prove catastrophic, particularly for addressing urgent challenges like the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and record species decline. The Report highlights the need for policymakers to match targets for protecting the earth with ones for boosting economies – and for companies to avoid the risks of potentially disastrous future losses by adjusting to science-based targets.
OUR GLOBAL FOREST
Our direct selling business QNET has partnered with EcoMatcher, a technology-enabled social enterprise to seed three new forests in Kenya, UAE, and the Philippines, with each location receiving 1,000 trees. EcoMatcher is a Certified B Corporation that drives the world’s first blockchain-enabled digital tree-planting platform.
Since then, QNET has also contributed to reforestation efforts in Bali, Algeria, and Turkey, with more community projects in the pipeline.
QI Group is committed to advancing the UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) of reforestation and sustainable forest management to help combat climate change. This Green Legacy programme is part of our commitment to actively protect nature by planting trees to help improve local ecosystems and generate sustainable agro-forestry livelihoods for local communities.
Reforestation is necessary for the billions of people who rely on forests for small-scale agriculture, medicine and even shelter. By promoting sustainable agro-forestry, restoring degraded forests, and promoting environmental best practices, tree planting can help strengthen the socio-economic resilience of communities in those locations.
Through this global reforestation initiative, we contribute to UN’s SDGs 10 (Reduced Inequalities), 13 (Climate Action), and 15 (Life on Land). We can help our consumers and network worldwide become more environmentally conscious and choose more sustainable products with confidence through this partnership. Partnerships can help accelerate and magnify our efforts to achieve sectoral transformation.
