The company has funded the planting of over 100,000 trees which are expected to restore more than 140 acres of forest
SHELTON, Conn., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC) is announcing its fifth year of partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, celebrating a shared commitment to protecting biodiversity through reforestation efforts.
Since the partnership began, the company has funded the planting of over 100,000 trees which are expected to restore more than 140 acres of forest. This reforestation contributes to healthier ecosystems and more resilient habitats for communities and wildlife, such as more than 50 hummingbird species found in the Polylepis forest, where much of the company's support has been directed. The milestone reflects years of collaborative impact and showcases one of the many ways Edgewell is continuing to pursue its Sustainable Care strategy.
"Our partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation is a powerful example of our sustainability strategy in action," said Amy Knight, Vice President of Global Sustainability. "Through these reforestation efforts, we are supporting biodiversity in unique ecosystems, contributing to watershed health and helping enable positive outcomes for the climate and local communities. Together, we are advancing our biodiversity efforts through projects that have a meaningful connection to our business."
Dan Morrow, Vice President, Partnerships at the Arbor Day Foundation said, "We're grateful to be entering into our fifth year of partnership with Edgewell. Together, we're helping protect and restore vital habitats for hummingbirds and other important species while strengthening forests that support communities and ecosystems. Five years of collaboration have delivered meaningful, on?the?ground results--from reducing water runoff and improving air quality to sequestering carbon dioxide--demonstrating how corporate partners like Edgewell can play a critical role in building a healthier, more resilient future."
