Why Join Us?

No tech/business community has come together in this way anywhere in the world. We believe this campaign is the first step to transitioning Ireland to become a global leader in the fight against climate change, led by the private sector in an inclusive, meaningful and enjoyable way while creating a lasting legacy of restored Irish woodlands.

There are a range of direct and indirect benefits to getting involved in the campaign:

  • Align your business with increasing stakeholder demand: staff, clients & the public all care deeply about this
  • Competitive differentiation – be at the forefront of sustainable business practice
  • Generate positive national and international publicity for your business
  • Reduce costs by gaining insight into bad practices, enabling cost-saving behavioural changes
  • Support social enterprise, wider Irish industry, jobs, education and research
  • Have genuine, quantifiable positive impact on environmental protection and Irish biodiversity
  • Get ahead of inevitable legal obligations/regulation and avoid new taxes
  • It’s the right thing to do

This initiative aligns with seven of the seventeen UN Strategic Development Goals – specifically:

  • Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being
  • Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
  • Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
  • Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
  • Goal 13: Climate Action
  • Goal 14: Life Below Water
  • Goal 15: Life on Land
