SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Parker Migliorini International (PMI Foods) is continuing our partnership with the environmental non-profit tree planting charity, One Tree Planted, to plant 10,000 more trees in the Amazon. This announcement is a part of PMI Foods' long-term plan to plant 1,000,000 trees.

PMI Foods partners with One Tree Planted.

"Our continued partnership with One Tree Planted has been a wonderful initiative for PMI Foods. Together, we are working to combat climate change, deforestation, and habitat destruction," said Darin Parker, President of PMI Foods. "At PMI Foods, our priority is feeding people and being good corporate citizens. We are very passionate about protecting the environment, and this is just one small step forward in our effort to give back and help make a difference."

One of the most effective ways to fight against climate change is by planting more trees, especially in the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon is home to more than 80% of the world's land animals, but it's in danger due to unsustainable farming and ranching practices. PMI Foods is proud to be a partner of One Tree Planted, working together to plant trees in the Amazon rainforest and help the local communities affected by environmental changes. This reforestation effort can have a significant social impact on the environment and wildlife.

"We are grateful for our continued partnership with PMI Foods," said Hannah Ewing, who manages corporate and strategic partnerships at One Tree Planted. "As we move into our second year of partnership, we are excited to continue to get trees in the ground in the Amazon Rainforest, having positive impacts on nature, biodiversity, and communities."

PMI Foods has made a commitment to develop sustainable solutions in the global food market that safeguard our environment, while also providing benefits for both customers and suppliers. Through a collaboration with One Tree Planted, PMI Foods aims to create more sustainable long-term value, rebuild rainforests, and make a positive social impact across the world.
