cargo-partner Forest
In 2021, we launched two new initiatives to help stem the impact of deforestation and plant trees around the world. To date, these programs have helped over 100,000 new trees to be planted worldwide.
The first initiative, launched in January 2021, saw us switch our standard search engine to a new, more sustainable platform called Ecosia. Ecosia uses 80% of its profits from advertising revenues to support tree planting projects. This small change alone is projected to result in nearly 100,000 trees a year being planted.
Our second initiative, although smaller in scale, shows that our customers care about the environment just as much as we do. In summer 2021, we launched a comprehensive customer engagement survey to gather feedback on our online solutions. As an incentive to complete the survey, cargo-partner promised to plant a tree for every completed questionnaire in collaboration with Ecologi, a platform for climate action which allows companies to fund a range of leading climate solutions. The initiative was a huge success and by the end of the survey, the “cargo-partner forest” had grown to over 1,000 trees.
We’re excited to see our “cargo-partner forest” continue to grow, year after year, and are constantly on the lookout for new initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint.
