SUBARU AND THE ARBOR DAY FOUNDATION LAUNCH THE LARGEST CORPORATE TREE DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM IN THE NON-PROFIT'S HISTORY

Trees provide oxygen, filter water, clean the air, prevent flooding, and cool environments to help build healthier communities and a more sustainable planet. But every year, American cities lose millions of trees due to age, disease, infestation, and extreme weather. To help address this tree loss, Subaru, its retailers, and ADF will supply and distribute 100,000 trees this year, building upon a legacy of supporting environmental causes that includes the replanting of 1 million trees in western states to address post-wildfire reforestation efforts.

Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President, Marketing at Subaru of America, Inc.: "Subaru has a long history of helping to protect and preserve the planet through programs that reduce waste, safeguard natural resources, and care for our natural spaces. With the unmatched expertise of the Arbor Day Foundation and the support of our Subaru retailers, we are creating a lasting impact that will grow for many years to come. One tree at a time, Subaru is proud to help make a more sustainable future for all."

Donation distribution events will take place throughout the regional 2025 planting season. Anyone can visit Subaru.com/earth to find a participating retailer and reserve a tree on a first-come, first-served basis, though quantities are limited. Once reserved, customers will be given specific instructions on when to pick up a tree and how to plant and maintain it on their property.

Dan Lambe, Chief Executive of the Arbor Day Foundation: "We are always trying to plant trees in the communities where they are needed most, and this program is helping extend that effort. Subaru's collaboration and commitment to improving environmental and community well-being further exemplifies how powerful partnerships can be amid the urgent push to protect the planet. From helping address extreme weather events to improving overall community health, trees have the ability to infuse our communities with profound layers of benefits and help us grow a more resilient future."

Throughout the campaign, two new advertising spots will run in English and Spanish on linear TV, streaming, digital video, and social media platforms in :30 and :15 second formats. The title campaign spot, Kids, includes fun and colorful artwork drawn by children to inspire us all, while Subaru Partners with the Arbor Day Foundation to Give Away Trees highlights the partnership between Subaru, its retailers, and the Arbor Day Foundation to address tree loss in communities nationwide. Paid media partners include CBS, ESPN, Hulu, Roku, Peacock, Telemundo, Univision, and YouTube, and the spots are available to view on the Subaru of America YouTube channel.
