When companies who prioritize sustainability chose to work with other like-minded businesses, they're putting it up to climate change.
When you're weighing up what businesses you want to work with, there are plenty of things to keep in mind. From weighing up the difference in cost compared to their competitors, to taking a look at their standard of service and reputation, you want to feel confident that the brand you choose is both going to help you achieve your goals. You also want to demonstrate your ideals and what you stand for.
One of the most important issues has got to be their approach to sustainability, and how seriously they are trying to conduct their business in a sustainable manner.
As any clued-in person knows, climate change is real but businesses that chose to work with other sustainable businesses are making a real commitment to be more sustainable and to help reverse the effects of climate change.
Checking out their social media platforms and website is a good place to start, scanning for any mention of carbon offsetting efforts or a shift to the use of more sustainable materials.
Reforestation is 100% going to be a part of any major sustainability efforts, so finding a brand that has made an effort to plant trees is worth keeping in mind when weighing up what business you want to choose. Not only does this give you a good indication that sustainability is part of their ethos, but we would go as far as to say that people planting trees are exactly the kind of people you want to do business with.
Planting trees is something we're very familiar with in Roody. We planted more than 155,000 trees in 2021 and we're on course to plant even more in 2022. We plant one tree for every item we make, and you can be assured that we always try to source the most sustainable materials we can to create any of the products that we offer.
Eden Reforestation is leader in reforestation. They work with a variety of businesses in a wide range of industries.
Here are some of the best businesses doing their bit by planting trees.

Another one of Eden Reforestation's Forest Partners, it is a business deeply committed to meaningful action against climate change, as well as providing support for people living in extreme situations and poverty.
Verdn
We've already spoken about how important it is to look for businesses that put sustainability on the shop window (digitally speaking at least), so it's worth noting that it works the other way around too. Verdn specialise in attaching environmental pledges to any of your products or services, instantly making it obvious to any customer or client that you are doing your bit to protect the environment.
Arc X-Media
You might have noticed that a running theme throughout this article is the idea that a company isn't all about its service or product, and neither does the customer experience end there.

Corporate Benefits
As committed to sustainability as they are to employee satisfaction, Corporate Benefits is trusted by more than 16,150 companies with over 9 million registered users.
Earthly
There was a time when sustainability had was seen only as purely a philanthropic endeavour that offered little to no reward for businesses. That is certainly not the case now, and companies like Earthly present the opportunity for businesses to invest in something that will be both beneficial for their brand's reputation in the long run and can make a meaningful change to our planet.
Ecologi
Planting trees isn't merely something that Ecologi takes seriously, it is one of the most fundamental aspects of what the role they perform. Having planted over 47.4 million trees (yes, you read that right) and partnered with brands like Axa on colossal projects all over the world, it would be a difficult task to find a business that does as much to protect the environment.
Berge Bulk
If you are looking for a sustainable dry bulk owner, look no further than Berge Bulk. With a reputation for providing safe transportation of enormous shipments of cargo all over the world (69 million tonnes last year alone), sustainability is woven into the fabric of the company.
