In honor of Earth Day, Newrez LLC (“Newrez”, the “Company”), a national mortgage lending and servicing organization, announced its continued partnership with One Tree Planted®, a non-profit organization dedicated to global reforestation. This marks Newrez's third consecutive year of collaboration with One Tree Planted® which has resulted in 30,000 trees planted and $30,000 donated to help promote sustainability in the mortgage industry.

Through this partnership, Newrez has committed to planting at least one tree for every customer who switches to paperless statements throughout the month of April 2023. This initiative not only helps to offset the company's carbon footprint but also contributes to restoring forests and ecosystems that have been destroyed by wildfire, deforestation, and other natural disasters.

"Newrez is proud to continue our partnership with One Tree Planted® to support reforestation efforts and promote sustainability in the mortgage industry," said Baron Silverstein, President of Newrez. "We recognize our responsibility to reduce our environmental impact, and we love that we can get our customers involved in taking meaningful action to support a healthier planet for future generations with us."

The mission at One Tree Planted® is to make it easy for individuals and businesses to give back to the environment, fight climate change, and help reforestation efforts around the world. The organization works with partners in North America, South America, Asia, and Africa to plant trees and restore forests, helping to improve air and water quality, biodiversity, and mitigate climate change.

"We are thrilled to partner with Newrez for the third year in a row to plant trees and promote sustainability in the mortgage industry," said Matt Hill, Founder and Chief Environmental Evangelist at One Tree Planted®. "By working together, we can make a significant impact in restoring forests and mitigating climate change, and we hope to inspire other companies to follow suit."

Newrez's partnership with One Tree Planted® is part of the company's broader sustainability initiatives, which include reducing energy consumption, minimizing waste, and promoting environmentally responsible practices throughout its operations. Through these efforts, Newrez is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and supporting a more sustainable future.
