Pupil funds the planting of over 20,000 trees to support global sustainability

July 4, 2024

At Pupil, we’re proud to announce a significant milestone in our commitment to sustainability: we’ve funded the planting of over 20,000 trees across 19 reforestation projects and contributed to 55 verified carbon avoidance initiatives globally.

This achievement reflects our dedication to creating a positive impact on the planet while supporting local communities and ecosystems. Sustainability is at the core of our mission, and we’re committed to taking meaningful actions to reduce our environmental footprint and help restore the planet’s natural balance.

The power of reforestation

Healthy trees play a vital role in addressing climate change. From the moment they’re planted, they act as “climate champions,” sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to restore healthy ecosystems. Trees also boost biodiversity, enrich soil health, and store additional carbon in their biomass and surrounding soils.

But the impact doesn’t stop with the environment—reforestation projects also deliver significant co-benefits for local communities, including:

  • Employment opportunities: Creating jobs in rural areas.
  • Gender equality: Promoting equal opportunities for women.
  • Improved food security: Offering diverse food sources for healthier diets.
  • Stronger communities: Enhancing local facilities and generating new income streams.

Through these initiatives, we’re not just planting trees; we’re fostering resilient communities and ecosystems worldwide.

Preventing carbon emissions: 1,464.74 tCO2e avoided

Beyond reforestation, Pupil has also supported carbon avoidance projects, helping prevent 1,464.74 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) from entering the atmosphere. These projects play a crucial role in mitigating the effects of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, restoring nature, and supporting sustainable development in local communities.

While reducing our own emissions remains the most impactful action we can take, contributing to carbon avoidance projects complements our efforts by addressing unavoidable emissions and driving meaningful global change.

A shared responsibility

As a company working at the forefront of real estate technology, we understand that innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. Our partnership with Ecologi helps us take practical steps to offset our emissions and invest in solutions that preserve our planet for future generations.
