At BMO we take every opportunity to “Grow the Good”, and to help build a more sustainable world. Our annual Trees from Trades program will see BMO Capital Markets donate a portion of Global Markets revenue from trades made on April 19 to fund the planting of trees for Earth Month.
This year we achieved our goal to raise enough money to fund planting for 125,000 trees! That’s 375,000 trees to date which could fill BMO Stadium about 271 times! We are well on our way to our goal of planting 500,000 trees by 2025.
The Trees from Trades program demonstrates BMO’s ongoing commitment to combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions and working toward a net zero carbon footprint. Tree planting will take place through our partnerships with organizations like veritree and One Tree Planted.
We would like to thank our clients for helping build a better tomorrow. Together we can work towards a more sustainable future.
Learn more about our commitment to a sustainability in our 2022 Sustainability Report or tune in to BMO Sustainability Leaders podcast.
