MINNEAPOLIS, March 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sezzle Inc. (ASX: SZL) (Sezzle or Company) // - Sezzle, the highest-rated installment payment platform, announces a partnership with Trees for the Future, advancing Sezzle's initiative of contributing to environmental sustainability and financial independence.
As a Public Benefits Corporation, Sezzle is committed to improving the community at large. This initiative includes pursuing solutions to the environmental crisis that new generations are set to inherit. Experts estimate that the world's last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years. To combat this, Trees for the Future's 'Forest Garden Approach' gives African farmers the ability to plant thousands of trees that protect and bring nutrients back to the soil. In addition to environmental benefits, Forest Garden farmers gain financial independence through increased access to food and income.
"By committing to plant a tree for every new user, Sezzle is enabling more farmers to plant trees across sub-Saharan Africa," says Trees for the Future Executive Director John Leary. "We're grateful for Sezzle's support of our Forest Garden Approach. Together, we're restoring land and the environment while ending hunger and poverty for smallholder farmers."
"In proactively working with Trees for the Future, we are honoring our pledge to support environmental sustainability," said Charlie Youakim, CEO of Sezzle. "Our company is committed to a purpose-driven approach to business, guiding our hand in creating meaningful ways to improve the world around us."
In related news, Sezzle committed to becoming Climate Neutral Certified for our 2021 carbon emissions.
