How much of a difference can one tree really make?
One tree has the ability to sequester 185lbs of CO2 per year, per tree.ย
With eCommerce continually on the rise, the unseen cost of convenience is an increase in carbon in our atmosphere. The reality is that packaging, shipping and transport all have an impact on our planet. According to Fast Company, 165 billion packages are shipped in the US alone each year, with the cardboard used roughly equating to more than 1 billion trees.
“In markets where the broader sustainability claims are now ubiquitous, consumers want companies to get more specific.”
UNPACKING THE SUSTAINABILITY LANDSCAPE, Neilsen Report
Youโve put time, money, care and a lot of work into the product thatโs inside the box, but what about the box itself?
Thatโs where we come in.
Our 1:Tree Programย lets you plant a tree for every product you ship. With our logo proudly printed onto your packaging, your customer knows youโve put just as much thought into how their items get to them as the products themselves.
HOW IT WORKS
Say hello.
Zoom. Skype. Google Meet Up or just a good, old, regular phone call!
We’ll discuss how 1:Tree can help you achieve your sustainability goals or act as a great compliment to the sustainability work you’re already doing.
Conscious Conversion.
We’ll provide you with our 1:Tree icon to place on your product page — or wherever you see fit, to provide one more reason for your customers to shop with you knowing the brand they’re supporting is also supporting the fight against climate change.
A bonus? If you’re a Shopify merchant, we’ve created an app for your website that will automatically tell your customers that you plant a tree for every package shipped with a live counter on your home page!
Do some math.
We’ll provide you a quote based on your current shipping totals as well as an estimate of the total CO2 offset expected by becoming a 1:Tree member.
Content rules everything around us.
Every month, we’ll share with you graphics for your social media, newsletter or website that help tell your sustainability story with how much CO2 you’ve offset.
Proudly tell your customers.
Once we’ve dotted i’s and crossed t’s, we’ll provide you with our logo assets (or you can download our Shopify app and use our live tree counter) for your website to drive conversions along with digital files of our logo to include on your tracking emails, packaging, invoices, or wherever you’d like to display it!
Then, when your customer receives their order from you, they’ll be left with the positive feeling that comes from supporting a company who is stepping off the sidelines in the fight against climate change!
Reporting
If you’re a Shopify merchant, our app will automatically process one tree for every order placed on your store. Then, once a quarter, we’ll share with you your tree total and carbon impact!
If you’re self-reporting your sales, our team will reach out to you quarterly for your order totals and provide you with your invoice for trees to be planted.
