Earth Day 2022 sustainability initiative
Getac is committed to reforestation with One Tree Planted
Getac, a provider of rugged computing solutions, announces partnership with One Tree Planted as part of its Earth Day 2022 sustainability initiative.
The company invites partners and customers to take part in its "Our Solutions Your Success" campaign and cultivate at least 30,000 trees.
Inspired by its customers in public safety, environmental protection, natural resources and the energy industry, Getac wants to raise funds to set an example for sustainability together with One Tree Planted. In particular, ecosystems that have suffered from the devastating forest fires of recent years will be reforested to contribute to climate stability. All proceeds will go directly to One Tree Planted's global reforestation projects.
"Getac is committed to actively working to preserve our environment on a global level. To this end, we build on the latest research and developments, realize process innovations, improve the energy efficiency of our devices and promote the use of environmentally friendly materials worldwide. It is our great pleasure to partner with One Tree Planted to encourage internal and external stakeholders to join us in our efforts to protect the environment," said Rick Hwang, President of Getac Technology Corporation. "This partnership fits perfectly with our carbon emission reduction efforts and will encourage our target audiences to become even more involved in protecting the planet."
One Tree Planted says: "We are grateful for the commitment of companies like Getac and glad that they are so enthusiastic about making a positive impact on our environment. Every tree we plant together contributes to the sustainable reduction of forest fire damage and thus the stability of our climate." (Ashley Lamontagne, Forest Campaign Manager of One Tree Planted)
Getac says it has been committed toCO2 neutrality and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes long before this year's environmental initiative and has prioritized the use of sustainable production materials. The company is convinced that promoting sustainability must be linked to the core values of technology in order to achieve benefits and meet stakeholder expectations. Numerous Getac solutions have already received important environmental certifications such as EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool), RoHS Directive, REACH Regulation and ENERGY STAR.
