REAP Our Reforestation in East Africa Programme Freshfields has been carbon-neutral since 2007, offsetting its emissions through various projects: biomass projects in China, Turkish wind farms, and efficient cook stoves and Life. Straw water purification in Kenya. In 2015, the firm made a commitment to remaining carbon-neutral for the next 10 years and launched its offset project, Freshfields Reforestation in East Africa Programme (REAP). 
 Freshfields REAP is a community reforestation project based in Kenya and Uganda. The project empowers small groups of subsistence farmers and aims to reverse the effects of deforestation, drought and an insecure supply of food. Farmers are invited to join with neighbouring farmers to form small tree planting groups (clusters) and collectively plant trees on their land. This programme will improve the livelihoods of close to 9, 000 farmers. 9
