In Brief
Ecodrive helps businesses integrate sustainable practices by simplifying and tying positive environmental impact to customer actions through verified tree planting projects.
Business Summary

They empower brands to incorporate climate action through verified tree planting initiatives tied to customer actions, aiming to make sustainability accessible to any business model.
Social Impact
Ecodrive ties impact to the success of our clients. We believe we can have the biggest impact
through the one-to-one model of tying tree planting to customer actions. We chose tree planting, with a focus on mangroves, because it results in a direct positive impact on the environment.
Trees are a crucial tool for carbon sequestration (mangroves are a blue carbon sink and the highest CO2 sequestering tree) but also for restoring habitats, protecting coastlines, and providing food stability to local communities. Tree planting is also scalable across multiple project nations. Our goal is to be project/planting partner agnostic and be the delivery mechanism of impact projects to businesses so we can plant as many trees as possible. Every NGO partner is heavily vetting and must adopt verification practices to partner with Ecodrive.
