Event Giveaways 2019
OSCON is an annual conference for open source software development. Gracehopper is a yearly get together for women in computing. Salesforce tech teams take part in these events every year.
For the events in 2019, they brought Salesforce tree kits made by ForestNation to these events. 7000 nature loving techies picked up these trees to grow at home. And because we plant matching trees for each tree kit, we planted 7000 more trees in Tanzania. We planted 1 more tree for everyone who named their tree on ForestNation.
336 tree kit recipients engaged further to name their trees and post photos and messages. Here are some of our favorite tree posts from this campaign…

Futureforce Quiz Challenge 2020
Every summer, Salesforce recruits university graduates for their Futureforce internship program. All interns receive paid time off to volunteer for good causes. The plan was to gift them tree kits to grow, but the pandemic hit, so we created a virtual challenge for the interns. For everyone who passed this challenge, we planted trees in the Salesforce forest. 7,700 trees were planted through this initiative.

Events are back in 2022! Salesforce is giving away tree kits at their events this year. We are doing tree pouches so it’s easy to pack along with other sustainable gifts.

Every summer, Salesforce recruits university graduates for their Futureforce internship program. All interns receive paid time off to volunteer for good causes. To make it more rewarding for the Class of 2020, we created a virtual challenge with quizzes about climate change and Salesforce’s sustainability programs. For everyone who passed this challenge, we planted trees in the Salesforce forest. 7,700 trees were planted through this initiative.
“The business of business is improving the state of the world. We hope that by having zero-waste swag we will continue to improve the world. With two trees planted for every one seed we purchase, we are excited to see the difference the Salesforce Forest will make in Tanzania.”
~ Marc Benioff, Salesforce CEO
“Talk about amazing environment friendly swag! There is so much waste in all the conferences where popular swag is almost always made out of plastic. This was thoughtful and green! For every plant that is named, planted and registered one tree will be planted in a developing nation. #winwin And it is a special bonus for plant lovers like me!”
