Corporations have an outsized ability to address some of the biggest challenges facing the planet by making bold investments in reforestation, community engagement, and the voluntary carbon market. Polling data from the Arbor Day Foundation’s Canopy Report indicates there’s a strong desire from Americans to see companies take a leading role in the fight against climate change.
