Christmas spirit: Icologiq invests in sustainability

The holidays are coming and in the context of sustainability – and also because we often work from home due to corona – we have decided to take a slightly different approach to our annual Christmas gift this year. We value building lasting relationships with our customers, which is why we will plant 8 trees for each customer. These trees will be planted by the Trees For All organization in the Netherlands and Ghana, to stimulate a better climate and more biodiversity. In addition, the trees also symbolize our desire to continue to grow together in the future: with our employees and with our customers.

On behalf of our team, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy and successful 2022!
