Partnership helps replenish essential natural resources as Hasbro works to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions


 

PAWTUCKET, R.I. — September 22, 2022 -- Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), a global play and entertainment company, today announced the company has completed planting 100,000 trees as part of a partnership with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organization focused on global reforestation.
