Back in 2021, we launched our tree planting project. As our aim is all about creating and developing #RewardingRelationships, we wanted to do something that focuses on the relationship we all share with our planet. Our tree planting initiative gives us, our clients and their programme users the opportunity to offset carbon by, you guessed it – planting trees!
Every tree planted, is a tree that:
- Absorbs carbon from the atmosphere
- Provides farms with work to support the local economy
- Gives someone an income and a skill to feed their family
- Protects animals from deforestation
- Increases rainfall, purifies water and improves crop yield
We’re delighted to announce that, with the support of our clients, we’ve hit the big 10k mark! That’s TEN THOUSAND TREES planted across Madagascar, Kenya and Mozambique. 10,000 trees is equivalent to 1,241 miles driven in a car!
Check out our virtual tree forest here.
So 10,000 trees planted, just another 90,000 to go until we hit our target! Our clients have the opportunity to not only help us reach our target, but also offset some of their own carbon. Clients can opt in to have trees planted based on the number of reward orders placed or the number of active users on their programme, to name just a couple of suggestions. Additionally, individuals who use their reward and recognition programmes can use their points to plant trees as well.
A huge thank you to everyone who has helped us hit our 10,000 tree milestone! The next milestone is 50,000 – let’s do this!
