Take action for the Planet

Huge amounts of capital are being invested in projects that harm the planet. But we believe this money can and should be used to support positive change.

Instead of funding harmful industries, finance can be directed towards sustainable projects like the ones we’re building at EcoTree. By investing in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and projects like reforestation and biodiversity protection, finance becomes a tool for environmental restoration.

The good news is that financial instruments like green bonds and carbon credits are making this shift possible. Investors are starting to see climate risks like extreme weather or the decline of fossil fuels as part of the bigger picture.

In short, financing the right projects can drive the change we need. It’s about choosing to fund solutions that protect the planet, not projects that harm it.

Companies can reduce their climate impact by measuring their emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) and setting clear reduction targets aligned with the Paris Agreement.

This includes improving energy efficiency, choosing sustainable suppliers, using renewable energy, and designing low-carbon products and services. Companies can also rethink mobility (e.g., electric fleets, remote work) and raise employee awareness.

Beyond reducing their own emissions, companies can fund projects that protect the environment, like reforestation, or buy certified carbon credits. Transparency and communication with customers, investors, and partners are key to building trust in their climate efforts.

In short, acting for the climate means reducing emissions, innovating for sustainability, and supporting the world.

Companies are major contributors to climate change through their activities, emitting greenhouse gases directly (e.g., energy use, production, travel) or indirectly (e.g., supply chains, product use). This makes them central to solving the climate crisis.

However, they also have powerful tools to reduce their impact. By adopting sustainable practices, such as energy efficiency and low-carbon materials, companies can transform their business models and influence their stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, and investors.

Climate change also poses a risk to businesses. Extreme events (e.g., fires, floods) can damage operations, and changing regulations, carbon pricing, and shifting consumer preferences can impact profitability.

So, while companies contribute to the problem, they are also essential to the solution through innovation, investment, and transforming the economy.

While governments are responsible for addressing climate change, they often struggle to take urgent action. This leaves companies in a unique position to step up. As major emitters, companies can take immediate action to reduce their emissions, transform supply chains, and develop low-carbon solutions.

They are also under pressure from customers, investors, and employees to act where governments are slow.

Companies are essential in the fight against climate change because of their ability to act quickly and internationally, helping fill the gaps left by governments and driving faster change.
