A10 Networks launches Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative
A10’s CSR Initiative Aims to Help Build a More Sustainable Future
A10 Networks is launching a new corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative to plant an A10 Forest to help support action to slow climate change. Climate change as a result of human activity is a threat on Earth’s life supporting systems. To counter this threat, initiatives such as reforestation – planting trees – has a big impact, not just on environmental protection and CO2 absorption, but also by providing communities with food security and economic development.
Through this CSR initiative, we are creating an A10 Forest in collaboration with Treedom. With the help of Treedom, our forest project will support many local farmers by providing them with the know-how and technical support for planting and effectively managing the forest.
Treedom’s planting activities in Asia, Africa and South America for the A10 Forest contribute to the achievement of 10 of the 17 sustainable development goals set out by the United Nations Development Program. This program aims to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all in the context of a new sustainable development agenda as shown below[i].
Environmental benefits of these agroforestry projects:
- CO2 absorption worldwide
- Protection of biodiversity
- Contrast soil erosion and desertification
- Reforestation
Social and economic benefits in rural communities:
- Work for local farmers
- The choice of which trees to plant made in collaboration with the farmers
- Training and income opportunities
