April 01, 2025 // Franchising.com // HARTLAND, Wis. – Batteries Plus is proud to work with Energizer and the Arbor Day Foundation to launch its inaugural Buy a Pack, Plant a Tree promotion in celebration of April’s Earth Month. The campaign marks the debut of Batteries Plus’s Power with Purpose charitable platform, created to unify and amplify the brand’s philanthropic initiatives executed throughout the year.

As part of the Buy a Pack, Plant a Tree promotion promotion, Batteries Plus promises to plant one tree through the Arbor Day Foundation for every 24-pack of Energizer MAX® AA or AAA batteries sold in new, plastic-free packaging at Batteries Plus. Batteries Plus is additionally offering a $5 off discount for the Energizer batteries sold in 100% recyclable packaging* to further support this initiative. The Buy a Pack, Plant a Tree promotion promotion runs from April 1 through May 31.

A New Chapter in Giving Back

The launch of Power with Purpose formalizes Batteries Plus’s unwavering dedication to reinvesting in the environment and supporting local communities, bringing together several charitable campaigns under one name. In addition to sustainability-focused initiatives like the Buy a Pack, Plant a Tree promotion, Power with Purpose also includes Batteries Plus’s ongoing commitment to Emergency Preparedness efforts – ensuring consumers and their families are safe in times of severe weather and natural disasters – as well as the brand’s annual partnership with the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program – donating batteries to power toys that are gifted to families in need during the holiday season.

“At Batteries Plus, we believe in powering more than just your devices; we want to power positive change for the future through initiatives built to support our communities across our entire national footprint,” said Scott Williams, CEO of Batteries Plus. “Buy a Pack, Plant a Tree promotion campaign is the perfect way to introduce the Power with Purpose platform, demonstrating how we’re combining sustainability with meaningful community impact.”

A Full-Circle Impact

The inaugural Buy a Pack, Plant a Tree promotion initiative aims to support the environment in more ways than one, starting with the sale of Energizer’s plastic-free packaging. Not only is it 100% recyclable*, but the paper-based packaging is also easier for consumers to open and properly store unused batteries. With a unified commitment to responsibility and sustainability, Batteries Plus is among the first retailers to sell Energizer’s environmentally-friendly packaged batteries in stores. Customers can shop with confidence knowing that their purchase of a simple battery pack will help reduce waste while simultaneously contributing to a greener future.

“As a proud leader in sustainability and innovation, Energizer is striving for a plastic-free future amid a growing demand for renewable solutions to battery packaging,” said Lori Shambro, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Energizer. “We’re thrilled to work with Batteries Plus as they take our shared commitment to environmental stewardship a step further, paying it forward to protect our planet and ensure our communities have the trees they need in order to thrive.”

Purpose with Every Purchase

The Arbor Day Foundation is the largest tree-planting nonprofit in the world, planting more than 500 million trees since the organization’s inception in 1972. The Foundation will plant a tree in the U.S. for each Energizer MAX 24-pack of AA or AAA batteries sold at Batteries Plus stores, replenishing the supply of critical resources trees provide to communities, including clean air and storm protection.
