Mission & Goals
Canopy’s mission is to protect the world’s forests, species, and climate, and to help advance frontline communities’ rights. Our vision is to protect at least 30–50% of the world’s forests and all of the world’s Ancient and Endangered Forests. In doing so, we protect human health and help stabilize climate, biodiversity, and freshwater systems. Every year, 3.4 billion trees are cut down to make paper packaging and fabrics such as rayon and viscose. Many of these trees come from the world’s Ancient and Endangered Forests, integral to life on Earth. We work with more than 900 brand partners and the world’s savviest innovators to change that.
