Since 2021, TrainingPros has been making a significant impact on the planet through its commitment to reforestation. Each time a consultant starts a new project through TrainingPros, the company plants a tree somewhere in the world. Additionally, TrainingPros plants trees to honor its podcast guests and webinar speakers, reinforcing its dedication to sustainability and global service.

In March 2024, the company reached an inspiring milestone: 4,000 trees planted. The accomplishment was celebrated during a virtual company meeting, where employees and leadership reflected on their journey toward their ambitious goal of planting 10,000 trees.

Partnering with One Tree Planted

TrainingPros collaborates with One Tree Planted, a renowned nonprofit dedicated to simplifying the process of supporting the environment. Since its inception in 2014, One Tree Planted has planted over 135.5 million trees across 82 countries, restoring nearly 300,000 acres of forest. The organization focuses on reforestation in six global regions—North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania—addressing critical environmental needs such as forest fire recovery, biodiversity restoration, and habitat creation for endangered species.

A Global Footprint

Through One Tree Planted, TrainingPros has supported reforestation projects worldwide. From restoring fire-damaged forests in North America to aiding biodiversity in Africa, and from rejuvenating ecosystems in India to planting in historically deforested areas in Europe and South America, the impact is truly global. TrainingPros’ contributions have helped address climate change, supported local communities, and promoted tree equity in urban areas.

A Vision for 10,000 Trees

“Our tree-planting initiative reflects our values as a company. Each tree represents a new opportunity—not just for our consultants and clients—but for the planet,” said Leigh Anne Lankford, president at TrainingPros. “Reaching 4,000 trees is a milestone, but we’re focused on the future. We look forward to continuing this work and reaching our goal of 10,000 trees planted.”

TrainingPros’ dedication to reforestation aligns seamlessly with its mission of creating positive change, both in the professional world and the environment. With every new project, podcast, or webinar, the company demonstrates that small actions can have a significant collective impact.
