Match Group Teams Up With One Tree Planted For \u201cEarth Month\u201d
\u00a0
This April for \u201cEarth Month,\u201d Match Group has partnered with One Tree Planted<\/a>, a nonprofit organization focused on global reforestation, to celebrate love and renewal by sponsoring tree planting events around the globe. The organization has planted more than 40 million trees in over 43 countries to date. Together, One Tree Planted and Match Group will plant trees in honor of success stories of couples matched on Match Group brands. The idea for a partnership with One Tree Planted came from a Match Group employee, who proposed working with the organization as part of his winning entry to the CSR team\u2019s Going Green Contest.\u00a0
\u00a0
Match Group employees are getting involved in the reforestation efforts this Earth Month by volunteering at tree-planting events in Dallas, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Brussels and New York City, donating to conservation organizations, and planting trees on their own accord. Match Group is supporting Earth Month and employees who participate in several ways:<\/p>\n

\u25cf \u00a0Donating to charitable organizations for each hour of employee volunteer time and offering paid time off for volunteering<\/p>\n

\u25cfDouble-matching donations to select conservation organizations such as The \u00a0 Nature Conservancy<\/a>,Environmental Defense Fund<\/a> and more<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u25cfAttending One Tree Planted\u2019s ForrestFest<\/a> summit to collaborate with thought leaders and sustainability professionals on how Match Group can further support reforestation efforts<\/p>\n

Climate change is increasingly top-of-mind for employees, as well as users of Match Group\u2019s dating and social discovery products. OkCupid found<\/a> that when it comes to assessing potential matches, climate change is the most important issue to users. The app also brought back its \u201cClimate Change Advocate\u201d profile badge and will donate $1 for everyone who opts into it (up to $20,000) to Earth Day Initiative<\/a>, a non-profit organization focused on taking action for the planet.

\u201cThis Earth Month, we\u2019re able to support more than 100 community planting events with the generous support of partners like Match Group,\u201d says Matt Hill, Founder & Chief Environmental Evangelist at One Tree Planted. \u201cMatch Group\u2019s leadership in the sustainability space will make our planet healthier for generations to come.\u201d
\u00a0
Match Group has been carbon neutral <\/a>since 2021, following the purchase of verified offsets from the Hyundai Green Power Corporation. With this purchase, which is based on projected greenhouse gas emissions, the company committed to offsetting its corporate footprint for each year going forward.
\u00a0
\u201cSustainability is a core principle for us at Match Group, and it’s something we prioritize year-round,\u201d says Joanna Rice, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility & ESG at Match Group. \u201cAs a company driven by the positive impacts people can have on one another, preserving the planet for future generations is a critical responsibility. We\u2019ll continue to find new ways we can make even more of these worthwhile changes.\u201d
