Did You Know (RED) is Green?
This Earth Day, we’re proud to work alongside partners who are not only supporting global health programs with (RED), but also investing in sustainable solutions that strengthen communities, protect resources, and build resilience for the future of our planet.
Climate change is the largest global health crisis of the 21st century; the World Bank warns that by 2050, climate change could claim an additional 21 million lives. By destabilizing communities, straining healthcare systems, and deepening inequality on a massive scale, climate change threatens to reverse decades of global progress.
That’s why partnerships that value both health and sustainability initiatives are so essential to driving meaningful impact. By partnering with (RED), companies support life-saving programs that provide testing, treatment, and care to communities most in need. But here’s a small glimpse into the other ways in which (RED) partners are going green…
