Highlighting Craters & Freighters’ Longstanding Partnership with Trees for the Future

Since 2015, Craters & Freighters has proudly partnered with Trees for the Future, an organization dedicated to reforestation and sustainable farming practices that change lives and landscapes. Together, Craters & Freighters funded the planting of an incredible 932,500 trees, a testament to their unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and giving back to the planet.

“Partnering with Trees for the Future has been a meaningful way for Craters & Freighters to make a positive environmental impact,” said Matthew Schmitz, CEO of Craters & Freighters. “Our commitment to sustainability reflects Craters & Freighters’ dedication to creating a greener planet and supporting communities in need”.


Supporting a Greener Planet, One Tree at a Time

Sustainability remains central to Craters & Freighters’ operations. By working with Trees for the Future and supporting their Forest Garden Program, the company has helped transform degraded lands into thriving ecosystems. This program not only plants trees but also empowers farmers to rebuild their soil, cultivate sustainable food systems, and lift their communities out of poverty.

Key outcomes of these initiatives include:

  • Healthier ecosystems with restored biodiversity.
  • Improved soil quality, reducing erosion and enhancing agricultural productivity.
  • Carbon sequestration, as trees absorb harmful CO2, helping combat climate change.

By championing these initiatives, Craters & Freighters is directly contributing to a greener, healthier planet while fostering long-term resilience for vulnerable communities.

Craters & Freighters is committed to creating a lasting legacy of environmental stewardship. Thanks to the collective efforts of its customers, partners, and employees, each Craters & Freighters shipment supports this vital mission.

The Power of 932,500 Trees

The nearly one million trees planted reflect Craters & Freighters’ commitment to fostering environmental restoration and community development:

  • Restored habitats that protect wildlife and enhance biodiversity.
  • Thriving communities are empowered with the tools to grow food sustainably and improve their livelihoods.
  • A brighter future for generations, as degraded lands are revitalized into sustainable Forest Gardens.
