Plant with Starwood Hotels
Starwood-branded ForestNation tree kits are available for our hotel associates and guests to support various environmentally focused events such as Earth Hour & Earth Day as well as Starwood’s ongoing Global Citizenship efforts.
With each Starwood-branded tree kit planted, another tree is planted in a developing nation doubling our impact as we work together.
At Starwood, we are excited about expanding our already robust partnership with ForestNation and are pleased that the “you plant one, we plant one” campaign allows our collaboration to have an even greater impact.
Matching trees have been planted in Haiti.
Starwood Team Tree Planting
Starwood used the tree kits to raise environmental awareness during EAME “Roundtable Events” (internal divisional conference). Starwood recognizes the importance of educating and training associates on environmental sustainability initiatives. Starwood also organised a local tree planting event with the directors and managers of their Hotels. Other team activities included fundraising for UNICEF and beach cleaning. A great way to motivate the team and look after the local environment
We chose ForestNation because it’s a tangible and interactive product and we really love the concept “You Plant We Plant”. We used the Tree Kits as a corporate gift in our welcome packs at our Round Table Event to reinforce our message that we are serious and committed to Corporate Social Responsibility.
