So, imagine a world where you can Greenify your hires, with carbon offsetting projects such as:

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation - Rimba Raya, located on the Indonesian island of Borneo, is the largest REDD+ carbon offset project in the world. Covering 65,000 hectares of carbon-rich peatland forest, this vital region was once under threat from palm oil producers. However, thanks to the dedicated efforts of project developer Todd Lemons, Rimba Raya is now protected by both government legislation and local communities. Home to 110,000 endangered Bornean Orangutans, Rimba Raya is not just a significant carbon sink but also a biodiverse haven where people and wildlife coexist. The revenue from Rimba Raya carbon credits ensures ongoing protection and sustainable living for the area.

Tree Planting - Yucatan, Mexico in the Yucatan, Mexico, Greenify partners with Plant-for-the-Planet (PftP) to support a world-leading reforestation project. Since 2015, PftP has managed 22,500 hectares of degraded land in the region, planting over 3 million trees with a local team of more than 100 people. The project focuses on planting indigenous species such as Bread Walnut, American Mahogany, and the towering Manilkara Zapota. The Yucatan's favourable growing conditions allow these trees to capture and store carbon at a faster rate than in temperate regions, making this project a high-impact climate solution that addresses both deforestation and carbon emissions.

Plastic Waste Recovery - Project Laut Yang Tenang, Bekasi, Indonesia in West Java, Indonesia, Project Laut Yang Tenang tackles the growing issue of plastic waste along the once-pristine coast. The project focuses on the recovery of multi-layered plastic (MLP), a type of waste with little commercial value and minimal recyclability. Through a network of waste banks, collection services, and informal waste workers, the project intercepts MLP before it can reach the ocean, where it would otherwise degrade into harmful nano plastics. The recovered waste is then co-processed in industrial kilns, transforming it into an alternative fuel source that reduces reliance on wood or fossil fuels, leaving no residue behind.

Each Greenified offset equates to:

  • Carbon emissions - 12.7 tonnes of certified carbon credits
  • 2,000 miles of driving every month
  • 2,000 miles of rail travel every month
  • Home energy upto 15 days pm
