Nassimi partnered with One Tree Planted, 9/11 Day, AmeriCorps and The Battery Conservancy for a tree-planting and park restoration event on September 9, launching a year-long campaign to plant 3,000 trees in memory of those lost on 9/11.
Nassimi sponsored a One Tree Planted Day of Service on Sept. 9 at Battery Park, near the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
The event launched a year-long campaign to plant 3,000 trees nationwide to honor each life lost on 9/11.
Nassimi employees joined volunteers for ceremonial tree planting in the Labyrinth of Contemplation and subsequent park maintenance.
Nassimi, a New York City-based manufacturer of faux leather and performance upholstery textiles, sponsored a One Tree Planted Day of Service on September 9 at Battery Park to commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11. The event was hosted by One Tree Planted and involved partners including 9/11 Day, AmeriCorps, and The Battery Conservancy.
The gathering combined remembrance with local conservation: volunteers planted trees, performed park revitalization work, and held moments of reflection in Battery Park's Labyrinth of Contemplation and Bosque Gardens. The activity served two practical aims—creating greener public space near the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and launching a year-long, nationwide effort to plant 3,000 trees in honor of those lost on 9/11.
Participants included Nassimi employees, company partners, volunteers aligned with One Tree Planted and community organizations. Nassimi executives joined staff for a ceremonial tree planting. One Tree Planted is a founding member of the 9/11 Day National Commemoration Committee and led the event logistics.
This Day of Service marked the start of a campaign to plant 3,000 trees across the United States, linking a memorial purpose with urban and regional reforestation. Nassimi has supported One Tree Planted for more than five years, and the company reports contributing to planting over 50,000 trees through that relationship. One Tree Planted's broader history, as stated in the announcement, includes planting more than 171 million trees across 84 countries since 2014.
Iwan Nassimi, Executive Vice President of Nassimi, described the sponsorship as an opportunity to align the company's sustainability commitment with an action that both honors victims and benefits the local community. Chelsea Durante, Manager of Corporate Partnerships at One Tree Planted, expressed gratitude for sponsors whose support included both immediate action and long-term backing for reforestation work.
Nassimi was founded in 1978 and supplies faux leather and coated fabrics to manufacturing partners. One Tree Planted is an environmental nonprofit focused on reforestation, restoration of degraded landscapes, climate-critical regions, and urban tree projects. The Battery Conservancy maintains Battery Park, which sits near the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and contains designated contemplation and garden spaces used during the event.
If you follow corporate social responsibility initiatives or community-based commemoration projects, this event links memorial observance with measurable environmental action: a sponsored tree-planting day that feeds into a named campaign (3,000 trees) and is tied to ongoing organizational partnerships between Nassimi and One Tree Planted.
The effort is part of 9/11 Day, which mobilizes millions to do good in honor of the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
