Mouser Electronics met its fundraising goals for planting 100,000 trees across Europe and 50,000 across the United States, as a donation to One Tree Planted. The environmental non-profit group will focus on planting trees in Denmark, Ireland, Portugal, Netherlands, Scotland, Germany and Spain and will focus on urban planting and forest fire recovery projects across several U.S. states. Mouser's manufacturer partner, Analog Devices, also co-sponsored the program.
The fundraising began in February 2023. With the purchase of each Mouser order that included at least one line of Analog Devices products, both companies would donate funds to One Tree Planted. The program began in Europe initially, and after much success, it was extended to the United States in July.
"We are very excited to have met our 2023 fundraising goals, with our customer support, to contribute to this meaningful environmental program," says Marie-Pierre Ducharme, vice president EMEA supplier marketing & business development at Mouser Electronics. "We thank the many European and American customers who supported this worthwhile initiative."
As an official partner of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, One Tree Planted has planted more than 100 million trees in more than 80 countries across the globe since 2014. In 2022, the group planted more than 52 million trees—more than doubling their 2021 impact—working to re-establish woodland, improve water and soil quality, and restore habitat for biodiversity in areas that have been degraded or deforested.
