BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA — Hailing from Taiwan, Sunfun Info Co., Ltd., (Stock Code: 5278) the company primarily known for its cloud-based dating service “iPair” and its foray into the biomedical industry with the establishment of Daiken Bio, has expanded its horizons once again. This time, it has ventured into the field of environmental sustainability by launching the tool-based app, KOFO. Focusing on the core concept of tree planting upon user downloads, KOFO echoes and implements the goal of achieving global net-zero carbon emissions and restoring forest resources; KOFO invites users to stay focused on the present while participating in forest restoration.
The app joins forces with global non-profit organizations such as Eden Reforestation Projects, Trees for the Future, Plant For the Planet to plant trees. Additionally, it sponsors Carbon Positive Australia and One Tree Planted, as well as supports Koala Conservation Australia, an organization dedicated to koala conservation.
The profound impact of climate change on the planet and the crucial link between forests and climate change are evident. Prior to the launch of the KOFO app, it had already taken the lead by planting over 30,000 trees for Earth’s benefit. It is expected to reach the goal of planting tens of millions of trees within the next 10 years. Furthermore, KOFO will focus on the conservation of endangered wildlife species and promote the sustainable development of the global ecosystem.
Sunfun Info Co.’s CEO Calvin, Chia-Ming Chang, drew inspiration from the book Six Degrees, recognizing the pivotal role forests play in climate change and firmly believes that sustainability is not only a slogan. “The birth of KOFO embodies our vision, aiming to encourage consumers to ‘Stay Focused, then Save the Earth’ together.”
The green app KOFO hopes to make a difference by calling on the world to plant trees for the Earth’s benefit. At the press conference for the launch of KOFO app, Australian firefighters, and the representative of the state of Queensland, Australia, stationed in Taiwan, Patrick Hafenstein, were also invited to endorse the cause: “Australia is one of the countries suffering from extreme climate change. Therefore, we are greatly excited about the launch of the KOFO’ app and look forward to the positive impact it will bring to the ecological environment. We are eager to participate in reforestation efforts and sustainable development.”
