Elevating our partnership with Backbase through Trees for Deals initiative

17 jul 2024

We are thrilled to share the exciting launch of our partner Backbase's Trees for Deals initiative. This innovative program takes our partnership to new heights, demonstrating our shared commitment to sustainability and positive environmental impact.

Unveiling Trees for Deals

Backbase partnered with treebytree in November 2023, initially gifting a tree to each of their employees as a year-end gesture. This thoughtful initiative resulted in 1,800 trees being restored!

Our partnership has now taken to the next level with the launch of Backbase's Trees for Deals initiative. Through this initiative, Backbase commits to allocating a number of trees within their Backbase Forest for every new customer and each go-live. This program directly links tree regeneration to Backbase's commercial activities, highlighting their dedication to sustainability.

All trees, whether regenerated internally or through the Trees for Deals initiative, are added to Backbase's company forest and can be tracked through a live dashboard on our sustainable gifting platform. This real-time impact is updated continuously, and the dashboard is seamlessly integrated into Backbase's Go Green webpage.

Aiming for a greener future

Our joint goal is to regenerate approximately 20,000 trees annually through this impactful partnership. This ambitious target aligns perfectly with Backbase’s mission to drive significant environmental impact and inspire other businesses to embrace sustainability. We are proud to announce that the first 5,000 trees have already been regenerated!

Thomas Barink, Sales Manager at treebytree, shares: "From the start, our collaboration has been very pleasant, with both parties thinking along to maximize impact. The unique 'Trees for Deals' initiative that emerged from this forms an inspiration for our other clients. I look forward to a beautiful, continued collaboration!"

"At Backbase, we believe in the power of collective action to drive meaningful change. The Trees for Deals initiative is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and our desire to leave a positive mark on the environment.

Partnering with Treebytree and supporting the incredible work of Justdiggit in Tanzania allows us to contribute to global reforestation efforts while also fostering a sense of purpose and pride within our organization. We are excited about the journey ahead and the significant impact we can make together."

Trees making a difference in Tanzania

The trees regenerated through this initiative are being restored in Tanzania in collaboration with our partner Justdiggit. These trees provide numerous benefits, including combating soil erosion, improving local biodiversity, and supporting the livelihoods of local communities. Through these efforts, we are helping to create a greener and more sustainable environment for future generations.
