An ecological and economical investment
EcoTree acquires and converts existing land into sustainable reforestation projects. Any person or business can buy the trees and become a tree owner. We believe in sustainable forest management, where the trees’ value increases by 2% each year during the tree's lifetime. As the trees mature, we responsibly cut the timber and sell it to local sawmills. Where do the profits go? Straight back to you — the tree owner.
Create your company forest
We own more than 1.200 hectares of forest in Europe, which means we can create a corporate project that allows you to meet your ESG objectives.By owning trees, you help fund local, social and community projects, all while protecting and conserving vital biodiverse forest ecosystems. You will receive updates on the progress of your projects several times a year so you can communicate about your project and measure the impact of your contribution.
Where does your contribution go?
Building customer loyalty and awareness
For over a decade, Origins has partnered with various organisations to support tree planting efforts around the world. Since 2009, their tree planting initiative has pledged, planted and cared for over 2.3 million trees. In line with this global vision, Origins Nordic teamed up with EcoTree to give back to nature more locally. Since 2021 Origins Nordic has supported the planting and caring of over 11,000 trees across France and Denmark through various consumer facing activities instore and online.
Engage your customers
La Vosgienne has chosen to engage with EcoTree for a project in line with the DNA of its brand. Consumers of the confectionery are invited to sponsor a tree in a forest in the Vosges in France. The project is communicated via a game written directly on the packaging. The customer can choose the tree species they want to plant and is automatically entered in a draw to win an ownership tree. This is a project that has enabled planting and sustainable management of 5,000 trees.
Companies that are committed to our ecosystems
OVO Energy aims to grow in a sustainable manner by combining its growth with a tangible commitment to French forests. By partnering with Ecotree, OVO Energy has funded planting 60,000 trees on former agricultural land to promote mixed forestry. The trees were planted during an employee visit to the forest in Brittany. The planting took place in the heart of Morbihan, in the Ploërdut forest, which covers 11.6 hectares.
Local commitment
In line with their commitments, Siemens Gamesa planted 1,134 trees in Thisted, Denmark, near their Danish headquarters to reflect their local commitment. In 2022, Siemens and EcoTree held a forest excursion with employees and their families who wanted to get involved. Together, we carried out weeding, cleaning and supplementary planting as needed.

EcoTree offers customisable solutions for companies participating in sustainable reforestation projects. By purchasing trees through EcoTree, businesses can reforest local areas, enhancing their environmental impact. Tree ownership provides a concrete method to involve customers or employees in climate action initiatives. These projects and contributions are scalable to meet company requirements, ranging from sponsoring trees and monthly subscriptions to owning and sustainably managing entire forests.
EcoTree enhances forest resilience to climate change by diversifying tree species and planting those better suited to changing conditions. As climate change intensifies, events such as droughts, fires, and extreme weather impede the natural renewal of vulnerable species. EcoTree's efforts focus on creating forests that can recover their health and return to a state close to their original one despite external disturbances.
A key solution involves planting tree species that are better adapted to climates altered by climate change. In some areas in Europe, the climate shifts by approximately ten kilometres annually, while natural forest regeneration covers only a few hundred meters. This discrepancy means forests cannot adapt on their own due to insufficient time for reproduction, which is crucial for species evolution and adaptation. EcoTree employs continuous cover and mixed-species forestry
and supports natural regeneration to promote the reproduction of resilient species, facilitating their adaptation and survival in the face of climate change.
