Newrez Tallies 40,000 New Trees Planted in Sustainability Pledge with One Tree Planted® Partnership

To commemorate Earth Day, Newrez LLC (“Newrez”, the “Company”), a national mortgage lending and servicing organization, announced its fourth year partnering with One Tree Planted^®, a non-profit organization dedicated to global reforestation, which has contributed to a combined 40,000 trees planted around the globe on behalf of Newrez.

This initiative not only helps to offset the company's carbon footprint but also contributes to restoring forests and ecosystems that have been destroyed by wildfire, deforestation, and other natural disasters.

“This is our fourth year partnering with One Tree Planted^® and it’s been a key part of our strategy to reduce our impact on the environment,” said Baron Silverstein, President of Newrez. “As we continue to lead the way in our industry, focusing on how we can improve the environment that all of us, and our homeowners, live in is key to our outlook looking forward.”

The mission at One Tree Planted^® is to make it easy for individuals and businesses to give back to the environment, fight climate change, and help reforestation efforts around the world. The organization works with partners in North America, South America, Asia, and Africa to plant trees and restore forests, helping to improve air and water quality, biodiversity, and mitigate climate change.

“We are grateful for our continued partnership with Newrez, and all the work we have been able to do together these past three years,” said Hannah Ewing, who leads Corporate Partnerships at One Tree Planted^®. “As we move into our fourth year of partnership, we are excited to continue to get trees in the ground across the globe, having positive impacts on nature, biodiversity, and communities.”
