Happy Holidays! 2022 has been one of our most rewarding, as we cap nine consecutive years of +40% annual growth. I could not be more proud of the CarltonOne team and our partners.
We have spent this year reinvesting in our people and technologies to build a next generation global ecommerce loyalty, recognition and incentive ecosystem. This will enable our core clients to expand their global distribution and open new markets to their customers everywhere. We welcomed a significant number of new clients in the US, Canada, LATAM, EMEA and APAC, and together with our major PaaS investments we are well positioned to continue our growth as we greet 2023.
Here are just a few of this year's many milestones:
We're funding 1 million trees this holiday season.
In 2022 we also accelerated our eco-action commitment to fight climate change, with every merchandise transaction on our platforms creating funding for tree planting. We have already funded over 15 million trees and mangroves across Madagascar, Nepal, Kenya, Indonesia, Honduras and Mozambique. Today, as a thank you to our clients, partners and CarltonOne employees, we're funding 1 million additional trees with Eden Reforestation Projects. As we add more clients, more transactions and new ways to turn member actions into eco-action, we'll grow this funding towards our goal of planting 100 million trees a year by the end of 2024.
I'd like to thank you for joining us on this journey and wish you and your families a healthy holidays and a successful year ahead.
