Clif Bar

Together, we did it!???Through partnerships with nonprofits and public agencies, we supported the planting of 1 million trees in North America. We got there through a 20-year partnership with American Forests, tens of thousands of trees planted by our employees in our local communities, and through consumer support of our seasonal CLIF BAR flavors.? ?? We believe in protecting the places we play in,?and that healthy forests and trees provide essential benefits for climate, people, water, and wildlife.? ?? So what's next? We aren't done. We are excited to share that the CLIF brand is investing in the wildfire restoration capacity of American Forests through a three-year, $300,000 commitment to the REPLANT Initiative, a historic partnership between American Forests and USDA Forest Service that aims to kick off the largest post-wildfire effort on national forest lands in recent history.? ??

As a leader in organic and the first kid's snack bar brand to be Climate Neutral Certified, Zbar has proudly joined forces with nonprofit KABOOM! by committing a $1M partnership to help communities nationwide build nature-based playspaces for kids, focusing on areas that are lacking access to green space or opportunities for outdoor recreation. On average, children in the U.S. spend only 7 minutes each day engaged in unstructured outdoor play and nearly 30 million kids live farther than a 10-minute walk from the nearest park. Additionally, traditional playgrounds and schoolyards can often act as "heat islands'' making kids’ outdoor playtime dangerously warm. The multi-year contribution will support KABOOM!'s goals to increase play equity for children across the U.S, and create more sustainable playspaces by investing in research and new programming focused on climate-forward playground design. We loved hosting the first outdoor play Design Jam Day in partnership with KABOOM! where we turned rocks and sticks into endless possibilities with the help of our imaginations and reimagined outdoor playspaces.
