Creating Visceral Delight With WholeTrees©

WholeTrees© Architecture and Structures makes structural systems from small-diameter tree trunks and their branching portions that can be used as substitutes for milled lumber or steel in many building types, both residential and commercial. Because it has engineered a higher market value for what would otherwise be a low value by-product of sustainable forest management, WholeTrees© has at the same time created an elegant solution for the otherwise extractive forest products industry to thrive as an active participant in the transition to a regenerative economy.

Passion Projects: Aligning Company Initiatives and Personal Values

For most of the modern era, corporate giving and individual passions have been mostly siloed, as employee programs focused more on encouraging people to give to charities chosen by the company. Now, companies are beginning to embrace “The Power of And,” which encompasses both vertical and horizontal engagement. That’s the scenario where the vertical pillars or specific charities in a company’s social responsibility strategy are complemented by a more horizontal or grassroots focus powered by the passions and interests of its people. Once you combine the two, it’s easy to see the powerful potential to engage your people more broadly AND boost awareness of your company’s positive role in society.
