We plant trees

As an environmental charity, One Tree Planted is committed to making it easier for individuals and companies to return to the environment, create a healthier climate, protect biodiversity and help with reforestation efforts around the world, including Portugal. All this by planting trees!

Founded in 2014, One Tree Planted has doubled the number of trees planted year on year. Today, the organisation works with reforestation partners around the world who help put trees in the ground to restore forests after fires and floods, create jobs, build communities and protect habitat for biodiversity.

52,793,657 trees were planted in 2022, and more than 44 million are already confirmed to be planted in 2023!

rusticasa^® is a company committed to sustainability that uses certified wood in its production processes. This certification guarantees that the wood comes from sustainably managed forests, with respect for the environment and the lives of the workers involved in the production chain.

The use of certified wood is an important measure for preserving forests and promoting a responsible market. By guaranteeing that the wood used in its processes is sustainable, rusticasa^® reaffirms its commitment to preserving the environment and assumes an important position in the sustainable construction sector.

In addition to guaranteeing the reforestation of areas where trees have been cut down through forest certification programmes, for every house built rusticasa^® also contributes to planting trees in areas at risk of desertification. We thus establish the necessary link between forests and consumers. We are also helping to decarbonise the planet, as each tree planted will absorb 10kg of CO₂ per year. With 1100 trees planted in Portugal since 2020, we have accumulated a positive balance of 11 tonnes of CO₂ removed from the atmosphere each year, which represents 8% of the total reductions in our CO₂ emissions.
