Sustainability Programs

Tree Planting

We are teaming up with One Tree Planted to plant 5,000 trees on behalf of our attendees! The reforestation project will take place with indigenous communities in Ecuador to restore soil quality, protect culturally important forest lands, and create an abundance of nutritious food for local communities in need. The Yakum nation, collaborating with the Kichwa, Shuar, Cofan, and Siekopai nations, will establish a high diversity forest over three years, emphasizing species that produce highly nutritious foods and traditional medicines. This project will bridge ecosystem restoration with cultural preservation, making a unique forest that will create jobs, food, and wildlife habitat for years to come.

Plastic Credits

We’re partnering with rePurpose Global to collect and remove 100 nature-bound plastic pouches from the environment for every VERGE Net Zero 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.

Carbon Reduction

We are working with Watershed, our exclusive Net Zero Partner, to build a net zero carbon program for VERGE Net Zero and all GreenBiz events. Watershed is a software platform that helps companies measure their carbon impact, aggressively reduce emissions, and remove whatever carbon remains. Watershed also works with companies like Shopify, Stripe, Airbnb, DoorDash, Sweetgreen, and Square to run their climate programs.
