In 2019, tentree won the Top Innovator Award given by Apparel magazine and it has been featured in Vogue Business, The Environmental Magazine, and Business Insider. tentree’s mission is to motivate and encourage environmental stewardship through earth-first apparel.

Kalen’s inspiration to build tentree came back in 2011 when he saw that most young people were embracing and supporting socially responsible clothing companies, so he decided to create one. A year later, he founded tentree. The company’s main goal ever since the day of its foundation is to help the environment, that’s why Kalen and his partners at tentree do not measure success by sales, but by how many trees they have planted. Today, tentree continues with this goal and hopes to have planted one billion trees by 2030.
