It includes planting 2.8 million trees across 72,000 hectares, financial incentives for tree upkeep, and AI tools like the Carbon Stock Monitoring system and AtSource Digital Footprint Calculator to track impact. The initiative also promotes environmental stewardship, emphasizing compliance with the African Regional Sustainability Standard (ARS) and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
