SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Parker Migliorini International (PMI Foods) announced the planting of 10,000 trees in the Amazon in partnership with One Tree Planted, an environmental non-profit tree planting charity. The announcement is part of PMI Foods longer-term plan to plant 1,000,000 trees.

"Partnering with One Tree Planted is a great fit for PMI Foods as we work together to help combat climate change," said Darin Parker, President of PMI Foods. "Sustainable growth is critically important to the future of PMI Foods. Our work with One Tree Planted is a great step forward that will allow us give back and help the environment."

Reforestation is one of the best ways to combat the damaging effects of climate change, particularly in the Amazon Rainforest. Unsustainable farming practices and expansion of ranching endanger the Amazon Rainforest's delicate ecosystems, which provide habitat to over 80 percent of the world's terrestrial biodiversity. As a planting partner, PMI Foods is proud to assist One Tree Planted with reforestation efforts in the Amazon that seek to provide tremendous social impacts and support communities impacted by environmental change.

"We all have a role to play in protecting the environment and combating climate change, and we admire PMI Food's dedication to being a force for good" says Matt Hill, Founder & Chief Environmental Optimist at One Tree Planted. "With PMI Food's generous support, we're restoring forests, creating habitat for biodiversity, and making a positive social impact in the Amazon Rainforest."

PMI is committed to creating solutions in the global food market that protect our environment, while generating value for both customers and suppliers. The partnership with One Tree Planted will allow PMI to create more sustainable long-term value, help rebuild rainforests and make a positive social impact around the globe.
