By encouraging auto, motorcycle, and off-road customers to choose paperless billing, Dairyland supports strategic tree-planting efforts
STEVENS POINT, Wis. (August 19, 2024) – Since 2021, Dairyland has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to help restore forests from coast to coast in communities where the auto, motorcycle, and off-road insurance brand has a strong customer presence.
To support these efforts, Dairyland promotes paperless billing for its auto and motorcycle insurance customers—planting one tree for each customer who’s opted in to paperless billing since 2020.
In that time, the Foundation has planted more than 200,000 trees in locations where forest restoration is necessary due to deforestation, natural disasters, and other ecological threats. In 2023 alone, more than 92,000 trees were planted in Minnesota, Florida, and the Pacific Northwest.
“Our customers have long had paperless billing options”
“After we told them we'd plant a tree on their behalf when they choose paperless billing, however, they enrolled in record numbers to support this important cause.”
Pete Anhalt, Dairyland president
Americans consume 446 pounds of paper products per person each year. By enrolling in paperless billing, Dairyland customers help reduce consumption and costs while also saving trees.
As highlighted by the Arbor Day Foundation, trees help fight climate change, manage stormwater, clean our air, protect our drinking water, and provide critical habitat for wildlife.
Here are the highlights from our 2023 reforestation efforts:
