The Green Horizon Foundation
Frequently Asked Questions
Green Sponsorship is corporate sponsorship or philanthropy that supports reforestation, conservation, and biodiversity projects. This type of sponsorship can take many forms, such as funding reforestation efforts in areas affected by deforestation, supporting conservation organizations that protect endangered species, or sponsoring research into biodiversity conservation.
Green sponsorship for reforestation, conservation, and biodiversity projects can be a way for companies to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, while also contributing to the restoration and protection of natural ecosystems. By supporting these initiatives, companies can enhance their brand reputation, build stronger relationships with customers and stakeholders, and create positive impacts in the communities where they operate.
However, as with any type of green sponsorship, it's important for companies to ensure that their support for reforestation, conservation, and biodiversity projects is genuine and aligned with their sustainability goals and values. Companies should take care when selecting sponsorships, and ensure that their sponsorships support credible and transparent initiatives that have a meaningful impact on the environment and local communities.
The funds made available for Green Sponsorship will be solely used for the realization of a specific reforestation or conservation project. For each project a detailed overview will be provided to show where the funds will be used for. In the case of a reforestation project, the activities may include but are not limited to:
