ADM and Trees for All Partner to Plant Thousands of Trees in the Netherlands
As part of ADM's ongoing commitment to community engagement through ADM Cares, ADM has partnered with Trees for All, a charity dedicated to planting trees and restoring forests worldwide.
Through an ADM Cares grant, Trees for All will plant 2,155 trees across the Netherlands - helping to create a better climate, enhance biodiversity, and support healthy living environments.
To bring this partnership to life, ADM colleagues in the Netherlands joined Trees for All in early March for local tree planting activities. Together, they planted native tree species across two sites:
• Bonnenpolder Project (near ADM Europoort): Volunteers helped plant 1,149 trees near ADM's dry bulk terminal and oilseeds processing plant.
• Flanken van de Veluwe Project (near ADM Wageningen Innovation Center): The team planted 1,006 trees and shrubs near ADM’s innovation hub focused on plant-based specialty ingredients.
"Seeing ADM volunteers plant trees with such energy and purpose was truly inspiring," said Willemijn de Rijk, Business Development Manager, at ADM. "We were lucky with the weather, and the enthusiasm of ADM colleagues made these events a real success. It's great to know that these trees will be cared for and supported over the long term."
These events offered ADM colleagues the opportunity to directly support Trees for All's mission - and to help make a lasting, positive impact on the environment and local communities.
ADM Cares, ADM's corporate social investment program, helps sustain and strengthen the communities where our colleagues live and work by providing funding, volunteer support, and industry expertise to initiatives that drive meaningful social, economic, and environmental progress worldwide.
