Trees planted
A thank you, with a growing global purpose
A commitment to sustainability and an active involvement in saving our planet is in Beyondly’s roots. Launching the Beyondly Forest is one instance of the direct action we take to reduce our carbon footprint, by sowing the seeds for a brighter tomorrow.
To help spread our vision of a better world for all, we have partnered with local group, the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, whose trees grow right outside our window, as well as fellow B Corp and climate action organisation, Ecologi. Ecologi supports projects across the globe, from the UK, all the way to the rocky heights of Peru, and the sun-drenched rainforests of Madagascar.
As a small sign of appreciation to our stakeholders who are helping us bring about real change, and our people making that change possible, we have committed to dedicating 4 UK trees per year to every customer, partner, supplier and team member.
Together, those trees grow beyond a thank you today to become a symbol of our communal promise to save our planet. As each one grows, it reduces carbon and makes a real, tangible impact on the health of our planet.
Taking direct action on climate change for the long term is a priority for us. We have committed to planting one million trees through the One Million Tree Pledge initiative.
Why are trees vital for the planet?
- A single mature tree can absorb up to 48 pounds (22 kg) of carbon dioxide per year.
- Over its lifetime, a tree can sequester approximately 1 ton of CO2.
- Forests house 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity.
- Planting trees increases habitat availability for numerous species, with a mature oak tree supporting 500+ species of insects and birds.
- Tree cover can reduce surface runoff during storms by up to 40%, decreasing the risk of flash floods.
- Trees in urban areas can intercept 760-3,000 litres of rainwater annually, reducing the burden on stormwater systems.
- Trees can improve water quality by filtering pollutants, with forested watersheds reducing water treatment costs by up to 50%.
- Tree roots enhance soil's ability to absorb and retain water, reducing the need for irrigation by up to 30%.
