We value sustainability here at Valdera, which is why we’ve ditched the conference swag and replaced it with donations to local environmental charities. For every person that visits our booth, we add to our donation. This year at DPW, we donated 1000 trees to One Tree Planted. Their work in Europe focuses on re-establishing woodland, improving water and soil quality, and creating a habitat for wildlife in areas that historically were forested. Thank you to all who met with us - you helped grow our donation! #DPWAmsterdam #Sustainability
