Update from our fruit tree project in Punjab

from Hannah Schragmann 29 March 2023 |

Our Chief Transparency Officer @Hannah Schragmann has just returned from India where she visited our project partner in Punjab, India and shared the importance of the project. 

Why trust is one of our core values

from Hannah Schragmann 14 October 2022 |

Today, we would like to shed some light on the question of how important transparency and trust is for us. Trust is one of the core values we stand for - one which is incredibly important to all our customers, bothprivate andcorporate. Within the tree-planting sector, many insecurities circulate, not least because of negative headlines and misconduct of some players. Scandals around double-counting or unsustainable mono-culture projects are damaging for the whole sector and undermine trust for an activity which plays a crucial role in the fight against climate change and for a more just world. Many therefore ask us what we think about such problems and how we can make sure that such issues do not happen in our projects.

Update from the field: Planting season in Tanzania!

from Hannah Schragmann 03 May 2022 |

After Covid delayed the planned journey for quite some time, we are now happy and excited to share with you some insights and stories from our recent trip to Tanzania! We were able to visit two of our project partners during the beginning of the rainy season - which was perfect timing because rain means planting time!

Our first pilot project in India

from Hannah Schragmann 15 November 2021 |

In this blog post we are happy to present our first pilot project to you. This project is being implemented in northern India in the municipality of Abohar and other neighboring villages in the Indian states of Rajasthan and Punjab. The latest IPCC report shows India needs to make drastic changes, including reducing carbon emissions, to prevent climate catastrophe. At the same time, poverty and a lack of start-up capital keep the farmers trapped in a vicious circle. So our GROW MY TREE team saw this as an opportunity to expand our roots there. 

A reaction to the IPCC Report: Our planet needs green help

from Hannah Schragmann 16 August 2021 |

The fact that forests are burning and thus even more of the CO2 stored in trees is being released into the atmosphere is nothing short of an environmental disaster. Not only are forest fires depriving us of much needed carbon sinks, they are even turning the large areas of forest into carbon emitters. What does this mean for planting trees to combat climate change? Is planting trees even worth it now?
