THE MISSION
To plant a tree for every successful Go-Live and new Synizen, and ultimately grow a Syniti Forest in each location where we operate.
THE IMPACT
The average carbon footprint for a person globally is close to 4 tons, which can be offset by planting 6 trees per month. The Syniti Forest will become part of the Syniti landscape and will grow and flourish together with our clients and employees.
WHY SYNITI
We believe in the power of data to make a positive impact on businesses, people, and the environment.
Syniti is committed to reducing our carbon footprint.
2024 Planting by Climate Issue
By the end of 2024, Syniti will plant over 20,000 trees! Making a positive impact near the areas where we operate.
Location: Brazil – Amazon Rainforest – State of Rondônia and Mato Grosso
Solution: Sustainable Forestry
The Brazilian Amazon is one of the largest and most diverse biomes on the planet, but deforestation and devastation have become a daily reality. Tree planting efforts are critical in helping support not only the rare and wonderful biodiversity found here but also the indigenous communities that live in harmony with the forest. Native tree species will be planted to provide habitat for a large variety of plants and animals, to improve soil and water quality, and to help mitigate climate change. These trees will also serve as a source of food, medicine, and income for the thousands of indigenous people who call the Amazon home.
Location: US – Klamath County 242 Fire Restoration Project
Solution: Wildfire Recovery
The Winema National Forest in southern Oregon is a beloved area for its stunning vistas, recreation activities, and vast wildness home to a diverse array of flora and fauna. When the “242 fire” roared through this area in 2020, it took thousands of acres of forest, leaving a vast burn scar in its wake. Planting young trees, including Douglas fir and ponderosa pine, will not only bring this biodiversity hotspot back to life but also ensure that future generations can enjoy a thriving and beautiful wilderness area.
Location: UK – England’s Community Forests
Solution: Habitat and Biodiversity
England’s Community Forests is a growing network of woodlands and green spaces that connect people with nature. Collectively, these 12 community forests form England’s largest environmental regeneration initiative. As tree planting efforts in this forest increase, so do the benefits— including environmental, health, and economic benefits that will ensure a better future for area communities.
Location: India – Cauvery River Basin
Solution: Habitat and Biodiversity
Southern India’s Cauvery River Basin is in crisis. This replanting project seeks to restore 300 acres of land in Project Impact. The river has shrunk by an estimated 40 % from its historical flows over 70 years. This sharp depletion is resulting in drinking water scarcity and agrarian distress. A loss of tree cover has also contributed to poor soil health. Reforesting this river basin and educating farmers about agroforestry practices will help to stabilize the river and improve soil conditions over time.
Syniti Forest
Syniti is planting a tree for every successful Go-Live and new talent joining the organization. By the end of 2024, the Syniti Forest will support the planting of more than 20,000 trees in locations near communities where Syniti operates.
Total number of trees planted since 2021
Trees planted in the Americas
Trees planted in EMEA
Trees planted in APJ
2023 Planting by Climate Issue
By the end of 2023, Syniti planted over 14,000 trees.
Location: North Carolina, US
Solution: Sustainable Forestry
To manage crop and livestock facilities that serve as a platform for agriculture research to make farming more efficient, productive, and profitable, while maintaining a sound environment and providing consumers with safe and affordable products.
Reforestation is critical to restoring the watershed and providing access to recreation and habitat for area wildlife, including downy woodpeckers, red-winged blackbirds, wild turkeys, and deer.
Location: Ávila (Mijares), Spain
Solution: Reforestation of public land burned in 2013 by wildfires
In a surface of 40 hectares and with the goal of planting 80000 Trees to reforest this area that was deeply affected by wildfires during 2013. Planting species like Pynus Sylvestris, Betula, Sorbus, Taxus and Ilex will not only help to recover the land but also to promote biodiversity, contribute to the improvement of water cycle, fight against erosion and generate employment.
This project is registered in the Registry of carbon footprint, offsetting, and absorption projects, managed by the Ministry for Ecological Transition of Spain.

Location: India GDC Bangalore & Hyderabad
Solution: Implementing an economical solution for an ecological problem (large scale)
The problems of the Cauvery River are no different than other perennial river systems across the tropical world. Farmers in the Cauvery basin are in distress, the water level in the river has dropped drastically over the last few decades, and agricultural soils are getting degraded. 82% of the farmers in Tamil Nadu and 77% of the farmers in Karnataka are in debt due to failed crops.
This project will support farmers across the two states to plant 2.4 billion trees in the Cauvery basin districts by reaching out to more than 5 million farmers to motivate them to adopt perennial agroforestry on a portion of their land, along with regular cultivation.
This transition will lead to the triple benefits of increased soil fertility in the basin, more river water, and increased farmer income.
2022 Planting by Climate Issue
By the end of 2022, Syniti planted over 10,000 trees.
Location: North Carolina, US

Location: Montgrí Natural Park, Medes Islands and Bajo Ter (Girona, Catalonia)
Solution: Ensuring a key relief for the maintenance of the space
This park occupies 8,192.19 hectares that correspond to terrestrial and marine areas. It includes two partial nature reserves; a marina to which the Medes Islands belong, and a terrestrial one that includes the Bajo Ter.
It is a unique landscape full of cliffs, beaches, and great ecological wealth in danger because of the climate changes and earth heath that makes this area an easy target for wildfires. In its marine habitat, there is a complex ecosystem. The yellow-legged gull is the most present in the area. Its presence in this reserve is so great that one of the largest colonies of its kind in Catalonia takes place here.
Every tree we help to plant here guarantees the future of the woodland, replacing the specimens that are at the end of their cycle, ensuring a critical relief for the maintenance of this space.

2021 Planting by Climate Issue
By the end of 2021, Syniti planted over 4,000 trees.
Location: Ohio CoE
Solution:
Watershed & Wildlife habitat restoration
Niss Waterfall Preserve is a major watershed for residents in Richland County, Ohio. However, timber mining in the area has deteriorated this critical water source.
Reforestation is critical to restoring the watershed and providing access to recreation and habitat for area wildlife, including downy woodpeckers, red-winged blackbirds, wild turkeys, and deer.
Location: Barcelona CoE
Solution: Smart planting, the first of a long walk towards zero emissions.
This area, around 500m above sea level, during past centuries was cooler and more humid due to rain patterns. The tree species that prevailed, were the ones adapted to those climate conditions that nowadays no longer exist. As a result of those changes, the forest is slowly dying. If we let nature work on its own, it will take a century or two to change from actual to newer species. In the meantime, we are losing a century of mature forests taking greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
Every tree planted is from local nearby species adapted for the future climate of the region. They are being planted 3m away from each other so light is not blocked by other trees and it can have faster growth.
In 30 years, we will have a mature forest prepared for what’s to come, making the whole area more resilient to climate change and absorbing CO2 for us and our children.
