Evertreen 

ALHI is proud to support initiatives such as Evertreen, which has designed a program not only to plant trees to offset carbon emissions but they do so in a very impactful way supporting local communities by creating jobs across the globe. The ALHI Community Forest currently includes forests in 8 countries and we’ve planted 2,350 trees, which created 294 working hours for locals, and helped to absorb 352.50 tons of CO2. So far, ALHI has planted over 2,000 trees in our own “ALHI Community Forest” as we gift a tree to meeting planners for each meeting booked with us on behalf of our Members.

What's New! To celebrate Earth Day, April 22^nd,  we are excited to roll out a new initiative to Member Hotels that are interested in participating.  We invite you to join us as we continue to support sustainability practices by establishing your own forest with Evertreen.  Please contact alhi@evertreen.com for more information on how to get involved!
