Sustainability Programs

Natural Capital Partners

We’re partnering with Natural Capital Partners to deliver a high quality offsetting program for GreenBiz 21. We’ll calculate the emissions of all our attendees for the three day event based on the average individual emissions of the country they are based in. Natural Capital Partners will then offset those emissions through independently verified projects, delivering critical finance to the global transformation to a low carbon economy. And these projects don’t just reduce emissions, they also conserve and restore biodiversity, improve health and livelihoods, and support adaptation for some of the communities most impacted by climate change, yet least responsible.

One Tree Planted

We are teaming up with One Tree Planted to plant 4,500 trees for our event! The reforestation project will take place in Williams Lake, British Columbia as part of environmental recovery after the Hanceville Fire of 2017 severely burned approximately 590,000 acres. Newly planted trees will sequester atmospheric carbon, and over time improve the hydrological benefits of the forest. The ecosystems that have been damaged by extreme fire will once again become capable of supporting biodiversity. Tree species will be diverse and suitable for the range of wildlife expected to repopulate this region over time, including mule deer, moose, black and grizzly bears, wolves, songbirds, and small mammals.

rePurpose Global

We’re partnering with rePurpose Global to collect and remove 100 nature-bound plastic pouches from the environment for every GreenBiz 21 attendee. Low-value waste will be collected, processed, and reused by EcoWorks - a waste management service in Colombia that empowers waste pickers to tackle plastic waste. 

rePurpose Global is the World's First Plastic Credit Platform dedicated to reducing waste, reviving lives, and restoring nature's balance. Today, they are a movement of conscious consumers and businesses taking action on their plastic footprint by empowering innovators on the frontlines of tackling ocean plastic pollution and restoring the health of humanity's common habitat.
