You’re likely aware that Quik! enables advisory firms and other companies to process data electronically. But did you know that Quik! actually saves a tree every hour of every day? Our customers have helped us save more than 90,000 trees because they embraced a more sustainable solution using form automation.
We’d like to share with you a bit about our commitment to sustainability, as well as our exciting partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation. Plus, we want to give you three ways in which our digitally driven solutions can help your company operate a little greener right now.
Our Environmental Commitment
Quik! stands strong in our commitment to helping clients like you love your work and your world. Digitized forms automation helps you save time and money and reduces the amount of paper your company uses daily.
Why is this significant? Because despite the rise of technology and digitally driven operations, our worldwide paper consumption continues to increase at an alarming rate—around 400% within the last 40 years. The average office worker (including financial advisors and their support staff) uses around 10,000 sheets of paper annually, according to the University of Illinois.1
By helping more companies embrace paperless automation, we’re doing our small part to minimize the impact our clients’ day-to-day office operations have on the environment.
What Is the Arbor Day Foundation?
Arbor Day, the national tree-planting holiday, was established in 1872, and the Arbor Day Foundation was founded on the 100th anniversary of the holiday’s observation in 1972 to help uphold its mission to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees all year round.
For more than 50 years, the Arbor Day Foundation has become the world’s largest nonprofit dedicated to planting trees. With the help of members, partners (like Quik!), and programs, the Arbor Day Foundation and its global network of supporters have planted more than 500 million trees across more than 50 countries—with the goal of planting 500 million more by 2027.
Quik! + Arbor Day Foundation
As proud partners and supporters of the Arbor Day Foundation, we’re committed to furthering the organization’s dedication to environmental initiatives by supporting strategic tree planting and forest restoration efforts.
Each year, we work with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant trees in honor of our customers’ commitment to sustainability. Having planted 74,000 trees to date, these efforts will help remove over 178 tons of air pollution, intercept 7,982,233 gallons of rainfall, and sequester 38871 metric tons of CO2 over the next 40 years.
