Tree-Nation credentials

Mission & impact

Tree-Nation was founded in 2006 with a dual purpose: to reforest the planet and combat climate change by sequestering carbon. We have an ambitious mission to plant one trillion trees by 2050, and are working with urgency to reach it. Boasting over 19 years of dedicated experience, we have already nurtured the growth of more than 44 million trees, and we're just getting started.

Sponsor base

Tree-Nation directs the funds of 20,000+ corporate sponsors to planting projects across the five continents. Sponsors enjoy a comprehensive suite of services, including personalized forests, certified trees, impact tracking, frequent project updates, and communication tools to amplify their planting activities.

Our projects

Tree-Nation has developed more than 80 reforestation projects across 20+ countries in collaboration with local partners — 43 of which are active today and 37 successfully completed. These projects vary in terrain, scale, and planting techniques, yet all share a commitment to measurable environmental and community impact. Using our proprietary validation framework, we design, evaluate, and integrate reforestation initiatives into the Tree-Nation ecosystem to ensure full transparency, verified outcomes, and long-term resilience.

Project validation & verification

We maintain the quality and integrity of our projects through a proprietary system. Project holders provide us with a set of standard data, which we meticulously evaluate to assess their potential impact. Our regional managers conduct onsite audits to verify these data sets, generating a Tree-Nation Verification Quality Score (VQS). Projects must adhere to our environmental and social criteria and provide updated digital and physical data over time to sustain their VQS.

Partnerships

Tree-Nation is an active participants in the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) initiatives, and our operations are guided by fourteen of their seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. Since 2024, Tree-Nation has also been an official partner of the UNCCD to combat desertification.

Transparency

Tree-Nation provides extensive information about each planted tree via a unique URL that tracks its status, species, associated project, and downloadable certificate. Our projects are described in detail within their dedicated spaces, which showcase their planting sites and respective geolocations, the complete list of species planted therein, and offer a space for sponsors to leave reviews of their individual experiences.

Operating structure

Tree-Nation operates as a private company, leveraging this structure to effectively achieve our mission and professionally meet the needs of our sponsors. While we have previously operated as a non-profit for several years, we believe the private company model provides the best framework to fulfill our mission and maintain operational excellence.

Risk management

Tree-Nation has planted 5% more trees than those sponsored by our users to account for any unforeseen tree loss due to extreme weather events or human activity. All trees planted through our platform generate a certificate that validates this activity, additionally specifying tree species and location of planting. These certificates exhibit Tree-Nation’s registration number, and bear the signature of the relevant project holder.

Tree-Nation is proud to be sponsored by a diverse group of corporations, including:
