Our Partnership
with The Loren

Climate action through public-private collaboration

Our Founding Partner
in Climate Action

Roots was launched in partnership with The Loren Hotels, a hospitality brand committed to climate leadership. As our founding partner, The Loren helped us go beyond low-impact operations and into high-impact reforestation, supporting the planting of over 300,000 trees and the restoration of 1,000+ acres of degraded land.

2% for the Planet

Roots is proud to partner with The Loren Hotels through the 2% < 2° Initiative. This public-private partnership allows hotel guests the opportunity to donate 2% of their bill to fund bold climate action. Donations support global carbon sequestration and local climate projects near participating hotels and will directly fund activities like tree planting, biodiversity restoration and land conservation. This partnership is a powerful example of how businesses and non-profits can collaborate to turn everyday actions into meaningful climate solutions. Together, we can help prevent global warming beyond 2°.

From One Hotel to a Global Network

The Loren partnership laid the foundation for how Roots works with visionary businesses. Today, we invite new partners—impact investors, hospitality groups, landowners, brands—to join us in scaling nature-based climate solutions.
