Protecting Biodiversity

Maggie Sottero is supporting efforts to back healthy ecosystems globally and near our Scope 1 facilities, from our partnership with One Tree Planted to our volunteer work with regional conservation groups like International Bird Rescue.

• In partnership with One Tree Planted, we’re planting a tree in honor of every Maggie bride, with per-gown donations directed to regional projects around the world.

• Our first project was in Costa Rica (known as a crown jewel of biodiversity) to support recovery of endangered tree species and creation of an elevational corridor to help species (like sloths, birds, frogs and spider monkeys) to migrate and survive into future climates.
• We’ve also donated trees for planting in Maggie’s birthplace, Australia (another of the world’s high-biodiversity treasures) providing habitat for the iconic Australian Koala. A vulnerable, threatened species in general, the koalas in New South Wales are especially vulnerable after recent devastating fires and drought.
• Our support for the One Tree Planted Women’s Empowerment Fund is helping reforestation projects led by and/or benefiting women. As a company committed to women, this partnership is especially meaningful to Maggie Sottero.
• In 2025, we're aligning with One Tree Planted's next phase mission: Maggie and One Tree Planted will plant trees where they're needed most, in strategic landscapes to protect biodiversity and terristial wildlife.
