Collaborative Efforts

The company has recently set a new goal to preserve a million trees by selling Sneki Snek mascot plushies and eco-friendly merchandise due to its collaboration with Conservation International. Razer will reveal a new piece of Sneki Snek merchandise at the 250,000 trees level to galvanize fan interest. According to the brand, every piece of Sneki Snek merchandise sold would help to save ten trees.

Conservation International is working with Razer to conserve trees in hundreds of forests around the world, including Costa Rica, Ecuador, Suriname, Brazil, Madagascar, and Indonesia, to name a few. According to Razer, it has now rescued about 170,000 trees.

Razer will also activate zVentures, the company's corporate investment arm, to help green startups expand. Tan formed Razer in 2005 in Irvine, California, and Singapore. There are 17 offices in the corporation.
