Environmental Responsibility

Globally renowned luxury publishing company Assouline and non-profit organization One Tree Planted collaborate in their joint mission for a more sustainable world. In their efforts in becoming an environmentally conscious company, Assouline commits to planting one tree for every book sold. The brand began this partnership in 2019 and will continue its contribution in helping this initiative by planting trees in areas where their paper has been sourced.

Assouline aims to create a sustainable cycle by sourcing paper from the trees it planted, once they have reached maturity after approximately fifteen years. The company will then be able to produce numerous books from its own, responsibly sourced trees.

One Tree Planted anticipates that Assouline’s efforts will both further aid our planet’s already growing biodiversity and help to provide cleaner breathing air for our world’s population. With that said, the company’s momentous partnership with One Tree Planted has encouraged positive change in the publishing industry, with numerous companies having already taken measures to better preserve our planet.

The below list of powerful facts highlights the environmental value of trees and the importance in protecting our forests:
- Approximately 80% of the world’s forests have already been destroyed as a result of deforestation, and about 46,000–58,000 square miles more are lost with

- The destruction of forests around the world accounts for roughly 20% of the planet’s current greenhouse gas emissions.
- 28,000 species are expected to become extinct within the next 25 years due
to deforestation.
- 1.6 billion people rely on forests for their livelihoods.
- 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions are the result of deforestation.
