At The Loren Hotels, we’ve taken great care to keep our environmental impact low. But we want our business to do more to help reduce the carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. That’s why we have established Roots, a non-profit organization, focused on carbon capture through biodiverse reforestation.
At the global level, Roots’ current goal is to acquire and regenerate 7,000 acres of degraded land, and plant 3 million trees—trees that will consume over 1.2 million metric tons of carbon over 30 years. We work together with governments, academia, foresters, biodiversity specialists and communities. The land we restore, reforest and rewild is protected forever through a perpetual conservation easement.
We’re proud to say we’ve already reforested 1,000 acres of land and planted 310,000 trees.
Help Us give back more than we take from the world
The 2°C target is a climate change goal outlined in the Paris Agreement that aims to limit global warming to less than 2°C above pre-industrial levels. 2°C is considered a critical threshold where the effects of climate change become extremely dangerous and irreversible. This Initiative allows our hotel and restaurant guests to donate 2% of the cost of their stay and/or meal to Roots. These funds will support large-scale biodiverse reforestation as well as local climate and conservation projects.
