FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor North America has expanded its collaboration with nonprofit organization One Tree Planted, committing to plant an additional 110,000 trees in California. This is a direct response to the devastating California wildfires, a situation that has underscored the urgent need for wildfire reforestation throughout the state. This year's contribution brings the total number of trees planted throughout the region to 750,000 since the partnership began in 2022.

"Fostering a sustainable planet for future generations is core to Hyundai's progress for humanity vision," said Claudia Márquez, COO, Hyundai Motor America. "We are proud of our partnership and this milestone with One Tree Planted to advance our common goal of a cleaner tomorrow, particularly in support of California reforestation this year and home to our North American headquarters."

In celebration of the ongoing partnership, Hyundai employees participated in a volunteer planting event with One Tree Planted in Huntington Beach, California. During the event, volunteers planted and watered over 120 coastal native plants and cleared the restoration area of invasive species.

"We are deeply grateful for Hyundai's continued and generous support of One Tree Planted," said Hank Lynch, president and CEO, One Tree Planted. "Thanks to their commitment, trees have been planted, biodiversity is flourishing, and communities have been empowered. On behalf of all the team and our planting partners at One Tree Planted, thank you."

Hyundai's partnership with One Tree Planted supports its broader 'IONIQ Forest' project, initiated in South Korea with the release of Hyundai's all-electric IONIQ series. This ecological effort aims to plant trees for reforestation, preserving biodiversity, and combating climate change.
