Kyndryl and One Tree Planted

Building a purpose-driven, people-centric culture is reflected in all we do

Overview

At Kyndryl, our people are the heart of our company. 90,000 strong and growing, Kyndryls work side-by-side with our customers to help them achieve their goals.

To celebrate and honor our people, Kyndryl has partnered with One Tree Planted to plant one tree in the name of each employee. That’s more than 90,000 trees planted, taking root in communities around the globe.

Each tree is an expression of gratitude to every employee for the meaningful contributions they have made and will continue to make.

One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to make it easy for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. Reforestation helps to rebuild forests after fires and floods, provide jobs for social impact, and restore biodiversity.

We’re building a new, purpose-driven, people-centric culture, and our partnership with One Tree Planted reflects those values.
