From Seed to Forest: How Corporate Partnerships Drive Large-Scale Climate Action

Why Businesses Are Turning to Restoration

The climate crisis demands bold action, and businesses are increasingly expected to lead. From B-Corp obligations and ESG programs to SDG commitments, CSR initiatives, and Net Zero pledges, the pressure is on companies to demonstrate measurable environmental and social impact.

One solution is both simple and profound: rainforest restoration. By supporting seed collection, propagation, and tree planting programs, companies can transform degraded landscapes into thriving ecosystems – while achieving their corporate sustainability goals.

Aligning with Corporate Frameworks

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance)

Rainforest restoration delivers direct environmental outcomes (carbon sequestration, biodiversity protection) alongside social benefits (local jobs, community engagement). RN provides transparent reporting that companies can integrate into ESG disclosures.

CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)

Tree planting and seed collection create engaging CSR opportunities. Businesses can sponsor restoration projects, bring staff into the field for planting days, and demonstrate authentic responsibility to customers and communities.

B-Corp Obligations

B-Corp companies are assessed on their environmental performance. Partnering with RN provides the measurable impact required to satisfy these obligations – from restored hectares to tonnes of carbon captured.

SDG Programs

Rainforest restoration directly contributes to multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including:

• SDG 13: Climate Action

• SDG 15: Life on Land

• SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals

1% for the Planet

As a registered nonprofit partner, RN enables businesses to channel their 1% for the Planet contributions into high-impact, science-based restoration programs.

Net Zero & Carbon Offset Targets

Restoring rainforests is one of the most effective nature-based solutions for carbon sequestration. Corporate partners can offset emissions, move closer to Net Zero targets, and report verified climate impact.

From Philanthropy to Partnership

• Long-term climate impact through restored forests

• Clear data and reporting to meet compliance and investor expectations
