🌳 Getting-started guide for companies

1. 🧭 Introduce your company & define your objectives

Start by clarifying:

What your company wants to achieve (offset emissions, engage customers, employee engagement, marketing campaigns, etc.)
The scale and frequency of your planting actions
What planting initiative do you have in mind, and when would that be successful

You have three options:

Fill out the 🔗Collaboration Intake Form
Explore our 🔗most popular planting habits and services to see what fits your goals
Reach out directly to our chat, and clearly share your company's insights as mentioned above

The goal of this step is alignment. Don’t move forward until your objective is clear.

🔗 Set up your forest

Your forest is:

Make sure branding, description, and objectives are aligned with your company messaging.

4. 💳 Add billing information (critical step)

Before launching any planting action, you must add:

This ensures that VAT is not applied, if applicable, and invoicing is accurate.

Goal: Decide how to execute your planting habit: automation, API, or manual tree gifting.

Once your account and billing are ready, you can:

Launch one of our 🔗 planting habits

Activate the planting solution discussed with your Account Manager

This is where your planting officially begins.

6. 📣 Launch your communication

Once your planting is active:

🔗 Must-have communication - Announce your commitment internally and externally
Integrate planting into campaigns, products, or employee programs
🔗 Add Website widget

Your impact becomes visible in real time through your impact page.

7. 🎯 Monitor, report, scale

After launch:

Track your planted trees and CO₂ impact

Adjust or scale your planting habit as needed

Your initiative should evolve as your company grows.
