TreeApp Partnership
This month we are delighted to share the launch of our new partnership with Treeapp. As part of celebrating our 25 years in business milestone, we’ve taken some initial steps to becoming more environmentally conscious starting with donating to tree planting projects worldwide.
Treeapp is a mobile app which enables anyone to plant a tree for free, everyday, in less than a minute. The trees are funded by eco-conscious organisations who advertise their products and services on our platform. The app is available for download in the United Kingdom and Ireland here.
The planting activities are performed by local tree-planting partners, who make sure every single tree they plant benefits endemic species and local communities. Treeapp has partnered with tree planting partners to plant trees around the world. All have met the internal criteria surrounding ethical tree planting, transparency and use-of-funds. All tree planting activities not only have environmental benefits, but also a social and economic impact by working closely with local communities.
To date, Treeapp has funded the planting of over hundreds of thousand of trees:
- Africa: Madagascar, Tanzania, Burundi, Ethiopia, Guinea, Mozambique, Kenya
- Americas: Brazil, Peru, Haiti
- Asia: Nepal, Indonesia
Over the next 12 months, we have pledged to plant 1 tree a month for each employee, which equates to around 1200 trees during this time frame, and based on each tree’s full lifetime absorption capacity, will offset approximately 130 tonnes of carbon.
We hope working with TreeApp will help us identify other ways of addressing our carbon footprint in order to help generate and sustain a positive environmental impact.
