This initiative launched with QNET forests in the Philippines, Kenya, and the United Arab Emirates in the first phase. Since then, the programme has expanded to include numerous other countries, including Indonesia, Turkey, and Algeria. QNET has also embarked on various green and sustainability-focused projects in collaboration with international partners.

The new direction centers on the concept of 'holistic living,' presenting Amezcua as a brand that enhances modern lifestyles.
