METRO SPONSORS SUSTAINABLE HARVEST INTERNATIONAL

As part of its ongoing efforts to support responsible forestry practices, Metropolitan has made a substantial donation to Sustainable Harvest International (SHI), an organization that works to reverse rainforest destruction with direct replanting programs and trains farmers in sustainable land-use practices. According to Metropolitan’s Elizabeth Baldwin, "SHI does an excellent job of balancing environmental, economic and social realities when designing their programs. SHI goes beyond just replanting and also works to ensure the long term health and expansion of tropical forests. SHI operates in multiple countries, providing a full range of services that we believe will better the social, economic and environmental conditions of the forests and the people dependent upon them."
