Western News released its sixth annual Newsmakers issue, highlighting some of the biggest contributors to Western's campus news in the last year. Two Ivey alumni made the list for their eco-friendly and fashionable company tentree.

Three years ago, Derrick Emsley, HBA ’12, and Kalen Emsley, HBA ’11, along with business partner David Luba, founded tentree, an apparel company that plants 10 trees for every item purchased. Today the brand is available in more than 350 retail locations across Canada and has recently spread to stores in the United States.

tentree has partnered with numerous environmental groups and non-governmental organizations in developing countries, planting some five million trees along the way.
