Trees with Benefits
Benefex, the company that empowers employee experiences, has partnered with tree planting champions Furthr to plant a tree when benefits are selected on their OneHub platform – with the aim of planting 1 million trees over a three-year period.
The reason why we are aiming to plant 1 million trees by 2025, is to help reforestation, a proven method to start undoing the damage to our environment, for all our benefit. At our dedicated Lamahi site, 203 hectares of forest cover will start to be planted from August 2022. This supports fair local employment and helps improve biodiversity, encouraging native species to thrive. You’ll also receive updates detailing how the project is progressing. So both you and our planet can breathe a sigh of relief.

Introducing... Lamahi
Benefex's Lamahi site comprises just under 203 hectares of tropical forest in Nepal's Inner Terai region. Local biodiversity includes a wide array of native flora and fauna: Tropical Sal, Khair, and other trees create habitat for over 200 bird species, leopards, Asiatic elephants, and globally threatened four-horned antelope.
📍Lamahi, Nepal
Why Nepal?
Less than 30% of Nepal’s forests remain from what was once an area widely-covered in biodiverse woodlands. Deforestation has led to multiple environmental and socio-economic issues, including habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict and low agricultural productivity.
📍Partner: Eden Reforestation
Employing to Plant
Whilst the site is government-owned, it's also community-managed via Nepal's highly-successful community forest management program. This makes it all-the-more powerful that our site employs staff living across the Lamahi Municipality to restore the degraded forest land at a fair wage. This is a strategy that our development partner Eden Reforestation Projects delivers across the globe.
So what's the plan?
The project kicks off during September 2022 and runs up to three years. Of course, we expect the site to be filled out far before given Benefex's engaged OneHub community.
