Environmental

## Carbon Footprint Reduction

Acquia is committed to reducing our GHG emissions footprint by 50% by 2030, from a 2020 base year. We’ll do this in a number of different ways, but always by using accredited partners with certified offset, reclamation, or removal projects.

## Planting With a Twist

Acquia has partnered with Flash Forest to bring emerging tech into reforestation. Using machine learning, they're identifying areas where trees have been decimated and deploying automated drones to drop seed pods the restart growth. Their mission? Plant a billion trees by 2028 — and we're all in on that.

## Fighting Deforestation One Tree at a Time

We've also partnered with Tree Nation on tree planting projects in Indonesia, Mozambique and Cameroon. In all of these areas, deforestation had left the coastlines barren and exposed to natural disasters. Our goal is to not only replant mangroves that have been removed by humans over the years, but also to help educate communities on a more sustainable way of living.

## Supporting Community Projects that Empower

Acquia is committed to delivering real change by empowering people to improve their own livelihoods. We want to help society as a whole produce cleaner energy with less barriers to entry. With community based projects at the heart of what we do, Acquia is helping increase access to cheaper, renewable energy sources in places where it’s needed most.





 

 



## Making Solar Energy More Accessible

In partnership with [Cool Effect](https://www.cooleffect.org/project/renewable-energy), we’re supporting 40,000 rural, off-grid households with solar power. Utilizing unique technology from the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras to help use a direct capture system for solar panels, we’re helping to remove the requirement for an inverter and therefore reducing the cost of solar panel installation.

## Fueling Human Growth through One Pot Meals

Along with our partner, [Cool Effect](https://www.cooleffect.org/project/mirador-clean-cookstoves), we’re helping families in Honduras by providing clean cooking stoves. These ‘clean’ cooking stoves help reduce the amount of fuel required to cook with by 45-55%. This reduces the amount of wood required to burn, and therefore helps improve air quality by emitting less carbon dioxide. At the same time, the families that use them save $100 per year on fuel costs and the project has created over 100 direct jobs through the manufacture and distribution of the cooking stoves.

Open Source Stewardship

## Acquia's Fair Trade Initiative

Acquia commits 2% of every closed partner deal to the Drupal Association — credited in the partner's name. The Fair Trade Initiative is a structural commitment wired into the [Acquia Partner Program](https://www.acquia.com/partners), not a sponsorship or one-time gift. When the Drupal economy grows, support for the project grows with it.
