64Tree planting at SAPSAP is committed to help plant 25 million trees and fund wetlandconservation by 2030. This includes supporting trusted partners andcommunities to reforest a diversity of trees and enable the protection ofexisting forests. It also includes funding the conservation and rewetting ofcoastal and inland wetlands such as bogs and mangrove swamps.By the end of 2024, we helped trusted partners plant over 20 milliontrees on behalf of SAP since 2012. In more than 25 countries, our climatedonations, investments in carbon credits, and sponsorships havegenerated strong benefits for people, climate, and biodiversity.Project highlights 2024:1. Reforest Now: Leuser Ecosystem - We supported ReForest Now andtheir partner, the Orangutan Information Centre, to plant a total of 140k nativetrees and restore heavily degraded areas of the Gunung Leuser NationalPark in close collaboration with local communities in Indonesia. The remotereforestation project can help to restore regional econszstem services, suchas water availabilitz and resilience to drought, heat protection, and provideincome opportunities for local communities who support the collection,cultivaion, planting, and maintenance of native trees.2. The Carbon Community: The Glandwr Forest - SAP continuedto partner with The Carbon Community, a UK charity on a mission toaccelerate carbon removal in trees and soil through breakthroughscience. Their first landmark project aims to uncover a newreforestation approach, rooted in science, to enhance and speed upCO2 sequestration in trees and soil to address the climate crisis. Wecontributed financially to the field trial, led by a world-class team ofscientists, during the first five years of the study. In addition, we sentvolunteers to support the fieldwork and donated trees to help grow theSAP Forest UK, a project started by employees who began fundraising forThe Carbon Community in 2020.3. Trillion Trees - We continued supporting BirdLife and communitygroups to plant, monitor, and protect 25k Polylepis trees and restore thehigh-Andean forests in Bolivia’s Tunari National Park. Over 90% of theAndean Polylepis Forest was destroyed by causes such as cattle grazing,forest fires, and harvesting. Restoration is of vital importance to people,wildlife, and climate. The forest serves as a carbon sink, prevents soilerosion, and helps glacial meltwater reach millions of people dependingon it for agriculture and drinking.Other
