New EcoMatcher app for Teams will enable Microsoft Teams users to plant trees, and track, engage, and share them at the touch of a button
HONG KONG and SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, Nov. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — EcoMatcher is proud to announce the EcoMatcher app for Microsoft Teams, bringing the benefits of tree-planting directly into Microsoft Teams. Teams users can now plant trees, track them through satellite mapping, view pictures of the trees and farmers looking after them, and even chat with their chatbot-powered trees and listen to ‘Forest Sounds’, to improve their overall well-being, all without leaving Teams.
The EcoMatcher app for Microsoft Teams allows employees to plant and track trees, and improve their well-being.
The integration helps Teams users contribute to reforesting the planet where it is most needed, while providing a moment to relax in nature virtually.
“We have seen a significant increase in companies looking to leverage technologies that support climate action and promote employee well-being. The EcoMatcher app for Microsoft Teams does exactly that, allowing employees to plant and track trees while taking a moment to recharge before their next work challenge”, said Bas Fransen, CEO, and Founder of EcoMatcher. “We thank Microsoft for supporting EcoMatcher to become part of the Microsoft Teams platform and making EcoMatcher a partner in sustainability.”
Talking about the collaboration with EcoMatcher, Chief Sustainability Officer for Microsoft Middle East and Africa, Sherif Tawfik commented: “EcoMatcher allows any person or organization to plant a tree at the touch of a button. By integrating the app within Microsoft Teams and making it accessible to over a quarter of a billion people that use the platform, we’re empowering more individuals to become actively involved in tree planting. Ultimately, it’s collaborations like these that are needed to shift the momentum, to build a more sustainable future for all.”

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.

• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
