OUR SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT
At Optico, we're committed to creating meaningful change in the world through two main initiatives:
- Reforesting devastated watershed areas around the world
- Funding loans to help people improve their well-being and build stronger and healthier communities
WE PLANT TREES
In partnership with Plant with Purpose, we plant a tree for every 100 km / 60 mi that each of our pallets travels. Our aim is to reforest devastated areas in Tanzania, Haiti, The DR Congo, Mexico, The Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, and Thailand.
