Contribute to Native Forests & Earn Credits

Help your tech company make a real difference. Earn carbon credits while preserving the nature you love.

*Trees per month is based on our best estimate of the Native Trees you fund and their expected carbon credit generation. By proceeding, you are purchasing a set quantity of future carbon credits per tree. Please refer to our terms for details.

Promoting Sustainability in Tech

As a tech company leader, your business depends on cloud infrastructure and office energy.

By funding native tree planting, you contribute to nature restoration while earning carbon credits.

Support ecosystems across New Zealand and align your business with practical, long-term sustainability efforts.

How we calculate our plans

We estimate your business’s carbon footprint using standard benchmarks for energy consumption in the retail and hospitality industries. Key emission sources include electricity for lighting and heating, refrigeration systems, and air conditioning. By using recognised data on energy use, we calculate how many tonnes of CO2 your business emits annually.

Each native tree planted sequesters CO2 over its lifetime. Based on research, your funding accounts for approximately 50 kg of CO2 over 50 years. For every tonne of carbon your business emits, around 20 trees are planted to compensate for that footprint, generating the carbon credits you receive in return.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of carbon credits do I earn?

All carbon credits earned from your trees will be verified native forest New Zealand Units (NZUs) that are registered in the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) under the Permanent Post 1989 (PP89) classification. If you choose to fund an entire forest project, we can provide options on voluntary carbon schemes.

What happens to my carbon credits if trees die?

We hold insurance for forest replacement, but ultimately, if in the worst case scenario the trees do not survive, you will not earn carbon credits as they will not exist. We have strict parameters when choosing partners to plant with based on the location, past planting success and the forest management plan/capabilities.

Can I sell or offset a fraction of a carbon credit when I have earned it?

No, currently we can only work with whole units as the registry (NZETR) your carbon is held on does not account for fractional carbon units.

Do I earn carbon credits before the trees are planted?

No, our trees are registered in the NZ ETS, this is one of the world’s most reputable and leading carbon programs. You only earn carbon credits from the trees once they are planted in our projects which happens during Winter/Spring each year.

When do you plant my trees?

Tree planting happens between August and October each year. When they are planted, you will be able to trace them to the project and follow them through project updates.

What can I do with my carbon credits once I have earned them?

- Sell them on our marketplace
- Offset them via our marketplace
- Withdraw them to your NZ ETR account and sell them on another market
