Whether it’s rallying customers, engaging employees, or navigating the risks of greenwashing, these businesses are setting the standard and leading the way on climate action.

<h2>Rallying customers around climate impact: Midcounties Co-op</h2>
Ecologi’s 2024 Climate Commitments Survey found that sustainability has become a core business strategy for <a href="https://ecologi.com/articles/blog/climate-comittments-report-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">76% of companies</a>. Brands that fail to embrace environmental responsibility risk losing eco-conscious customers to greener competitors. Consumers are increasingly seeking out businesses that align with their values, creating a competitive advantage for those leading on climate action.
<h3>How Midcounties Co-op engages customers:</h3>
For <a href="https://ecologi.com/yourcoop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Midcounties Co-operative</a>, transparency and community engagement are fundamental to the business. Their model is based on democracy, openness, equality, and social responsibility, and any profits they make allow them to support their communities. 
Using Ecologi’s detailed project pages, they create engaging online content to showcase the positive outcomes of their climate initiatives. Their customers and members are encouraged to explore their collective environmental impact via Ecologi profile pages, which include sub-forests for different trading divisions. This approach not only builds trust but also fosters a sense of shared purpose among their community.

<h2>Driving deeper employee engagement around net-zero: Mulberry</h2>
Employees increasingly value workplaces that prioritise sustainability, and engaging them in climate action initiatives can lead to higher morale, loyalty, and retention. Companies that fail to involve their workforce risk losing top talent, especially as interest in climate-conscious workplaces continues to grow.
<h3>How Mulberry engages its workforce:</h3>
Luxury leather goods company <a href="https://ecologi.com/mulberry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mulberry</a> has integrated sustainability into its operations and employee journey. The partnership with Ecologi helps foster a deeper sense of ownership of Mulberry’s 2035 net-zero target among employees across the business.
Every new team member is welcomed with the funding of a tree in Mulberry’s Welcome Forest, a symbolic gesture that helps connect employees to the company’s climate goals from day one. Mulberry also funds tree planting to mark significant milestones, celebrations and events, such as their annual Festive Advent Calendar and retail training days.
These reforestation initiatives, alongside ongoing efforts to offset business travel emissions through verified carbon projects, deepen employees’ understanding of and commitment to the company’s environmental objectives.

<h2>Communicating company’s sustainability work effectively: Capgemini</h2>
Effectively sharing sustainability efforts is vital for building trust and credibility. Missteps in communication can lead to accusations of greenwashing, undermining a company’s reputation and stakeholder confidence. A survey by KPMG in September 2023 revealed that <a href="https://kpmg.com/uk/en/home/media/press-releases/2023/09/over-half-of-uk-consumers-prepared-to-boycott-brands-over-misleading-green-claims.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over half (54%)</a> of UK consumers would cease purchasing from a company if found to be misleading in its sustainability claims.
<h3>How Capgemini champions clear communication:</h3>
<a href="https://ecologi.com/capgemini" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capgemini</a> believes that business is vital for driving forward the global sustainability agenda and is leading by example with a bold ambition to reduce 90% of its carbon emissions by 2040 to achieve net-zero. The company excels at communicating its sustainability journey through impactful storytelling and transparency.

The partnership with Ecologi makes sustainability tangible for Capgemini employees, helping them understand what they can do to make a difference and why it’s important. By clearly articulating their contributions to climate projects and reforestation, they ensure stakeholders understand and trust their environmental commitments.

<h2>Growing brand reputation through climate action and finding the ROI in sustainability: MSQ</h2>
Our <a href="https://ecologi.com/articles/blog/climate-comittments-report-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 Climate Commitments Survey</a> found that increased brand reputation was the number one driver for businesses taking climate action. Consumers and stakeholders increasingly expect businesses to align with their values and support global climate goals. Companies that deliver on their commitments not only build trust but also unlock opportunities for growth and investment.
How MSQ demonstrates the value of climate action:
As one of the first global marketing groups to achieve carbon-negative status, <a href="https://ecologi.com/msq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSQ</a> impressively offsets more carbon than it generates across its 13 offices. With validated Science-Based Targets for 2030, the company is committed to reducing emissions while maintaining transparency.
Through their participation in the Million Tree Pledge, MSQ has planted over 200,000 trees, with 500 more trees planted for every client pitch. The promise of 500 trees is a great offer for their commercial team, and their net-zero strategy, Science-Based Targets and partnership with Ecologi resonates strongly with clients, investors, and employees alike.

<h2>Mitigating risk with thoughtful communications: EET Group</h2>
Accusations of greenwashing pose a growing risk for businesses, with many companies struggling to ensure their sustainability claims are credible and transparent. Research from GS1 UK indicated that <a href="https://www.gs1uk.org/insights/press-releases/majority-of-consumers-don%E2%80%99t-trust-companies-to-come-clean-about-their-environmental-impact?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">57% of UK consumers</a> believe companies actively conceal information about their environmental, social, and economic impacts. Effective communication is key to mitigating this risk and building stakeholder trust.
<h3>How EET Group leads with transparency:</h3>
IT distributor <a href="https://ecologi.com/eetgroup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EET Group’s</a> decision to partner with Ecologi was driven by a desire to attract employees, suppliers, and customers while enhancing brand reputation and driving business growth. Transparency is key to those aims.
EET Group funds one tree for every five shipments from their European warehouses, and regularly shares its reforestation efforts at customer and supplier events, inviting suppliers to contribute to their collective impact by growing the EET Group Forest.
Ecologi’s tools—including badges, toolkits, and communication guidelines—have empowered EET to effectively and transparently showcase their good work. This transparency not only enhances credibility but also inspires other businesses to follow their lead.

<h2>1. Losing customers to greener competitors</h2>
The competitive landscape is shifting and environmental responsibility has become a key driver of competitive advantage. Ecologi’s 2024 Climate Commitments Survey found that
<a href="https://ecologi.com/articles/blog/climate-comittments-report-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">76% of businesses</a> are making sustainability a core strategy. Companies that embrace sustainability will attract more eco-conscious customers and those that don’t could lose market share, as consumers increasingly favour greener brands.
<h3>How to engage customers with Midcounties Co-operative.</h3>
The <a href="https://ecologi.com/yourcoop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Midcounties Co-operative</a> truly values sharing its impact with customers. The team uses Ecologi’s detailed climate impact project pages to create their own online case studies, highlighting the results of the initiatives they support. Customers are regularly invited to see their collective impact displayed on the Ecologi profile pages, which include sub-forests tailored to different trading divisions.
Partnering with Ecologi has significantly enhanced The Midcounties Co-operative’s brand reputation and customer appeal. By integrating climate impact into broadband and mobile products, they’ve successfully attracted younger customers and retained existing ones with a compelling offer that combines cost savings and environmental contributions.

<h3>How to engage customers with SmartestEnergy Business</h3>
<a href="https://ecologi.com/smartestenergygroup/smartestenergybusiness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SmartestEnergy Business</a> has long demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental responsibility by actively supporting the transition to renewable energy. The team decided to partner with Ecologi so they could take an even more proactive approach to tackling climate change.
They love to reward their customers for making greener choices too. So, for every renewable energy customer who joins or renews, ten trees are planted in their global impact forest. Customers also receive a Tree Planting Commitment Certificate and a Renewable Commitment Certificate as soon as their contract begins, giving them a tangible way to celebrate their positive contribution.

<h2>2. Reputational risks of failing public climate commitments</h2>
Brand reputation has become a key motivator for sustainability efforts in recent years, as businesses increasingly recognise the importance of aligning with global and national climate goals. However, failing to meet these commitments can lead to serious reputational harm, undermining customer trust and weakening brand loyalty.
<h3>How to prioritise brand reputation with MSQ</h3>
<a href="https://ecologi.com/msq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSQ</a> stands out as one of the first global marketing groups to achieve carbon-negative status. This means that across their 13 international offices, they compensate for more carbon than they produce. Their long-term goals are backed by approved Science-Based Targets, with near-term objectives validated by the SBTi for 2030.
They boost their brand reputation by being a proud member of the Million Tree Pledge, and have already planted over 200,000 trees. Their commitment extends to planting 500 trees for every client pitch, as well as marking key internal milestones such as work anniversaries, Christmas celebrations, and company meetings with tree-planting initiatives.

<h2>3. Fear of greenwashing</h2>
Accusations of greenwashing are a growing concern, with <a href="https://ecologi.com/articles/blog/climate-comittments-report-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nearly a third</a> of businesses worried about being seen as insincere in their climate commitments. Taking transparent and meaningful climate action is crucial to building trust with stakeholders, who closely scrutinise any sustainability claims.
The challenge of avoiding greenwashing remains a priority for businesses, with <a href="https://ecologi.com/articles/blog/climate-comittments-report-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">almost a third</a> expressing concerns over the credibility of their own claims. Our <a href="https://ecologi.com/articles/blog/climate-comittments-report-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Climate Commitments Survey</a> found that only 40% of businesses are confident in sharing their sustainability actions transparently. 
<h3>How to communicate your business impact effectively with EET</h3>
IT distributor <a href="https://ecologi.com/eetgroup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EET Group</a> is committed to inspiring others along the way in its climate journey. The team is often invited to showcase their reforestation efforts at customer and supplier events. They also reach out to suppliers each year and encourage them to contribute trees to help grow the EET Group.
At Ecologi, we believe sharing impact is key to driving collective climate action. Our handy badges, business toolkit, and communication guidelines have all helped EET Group share and celebrate their achievements.

<h2>4. Struggling to articulate ESG value to SLT and access capital</h2>
Financial constraints and the cost of climate tools continue to be barriers, with <a href="https://ecologi.com/articles/blog/climate-comittments-report-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">32% of businesses</a> citing financial concerns. Effectively communicating the value of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts to senior leadership and investors is critical for securing the resources needed to advance sustainability goals.
<h3>How to find the ROI in sustainability with MSQ</h3>
As we mentioned earlier in this article, the <a href="https://ecologi.com/msq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSQ</a> global marketing group was one of the first to achieve carbon-negative status. This pioneering team uses its commitment to the Million Tree Pledge to demonstrate the tangible value of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. 
By planting over 200,000 trees to date and pledging more trees for every client pitch, alongside other business milestones, MSQ effectively showcases its dedication to sustainability. These efforts not only reinforce their Science-Based Targets for 2030 but also help articulate the business value of ESG to senior leadership teams, strengthening their ability to attract capital and drive long-term sustainable growth.

<h2>5. Declining Colleague Engagement</h2>
Sustainability efforts boost employee loyalty and motivation, as many employees value workplaces that prioritise environmental responsibility. Without actively involving employees in these initiatives, companies risk lower morale and retention—particularly as demand for climate-conscious workplaces continues to grow.
<h3>How to engage colleagues with Mulberry</h3>
<a href="https://ecologi.com/mulberry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mulberry</a> was already well on track for meeting its climate obligations, but partnering with Ecologi allowed the luxury leather goods company to go further. The collaboration ensures sustainability is integrated into every employee&#8217;s journey, fostering greater understanding, ownership, and commitment to Mulberry&#8217;s 2035 net-zero target across the entire workforce.
For example, each new employee is welcomed with the planting of a tree in Mulberry’s virtual “Welcome” forest, introducing them to the company’s net-zero 2035 goal and its dedication to combating climate change. Also, each quarter, the team offsets the carbon impact of all business flights by investing in Ecologi&#8217;s carbon avoidance projects.

<h2>6. Unable to engage supply chain and change behaviours</h2>
Businesses are becoming increasingly aware of the impact their supply chains have on emissions. However, engaging suppliers in sustainable practices remains a significant challenge. Many companies struggle to gain visibility and control over supply chain emissions, which can hinder progress toward broader climate goals.
<h3>How to engage suppliers with Remarkably</h3>
<a href="https://ecologi.com/remarkably" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Remarkably</a> is a creative consultancy specializing in brand, marketing, and learning, with a clear purpose of building brands for a better world. Remarkably has been climate positive since its inception three years ago, achieved B Corp certification in 2021, and has invested in impact innovation projects worldwide. As a Beta partner of <a href="https://ecologi.com/business/zero" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ecologi Zero</a>, the consultancy quantified its full carbon footprint for the first time in 2023.
Remarkably’s dedication to the triple-bottom line shapes its client and supplier partnerships, with careful consideration given to who they work with. This approach was detailed in their inaugural 2022 impact report.

<h2>7. Uncertainty about which climate projects can deliver the most impact</h2>
Businesses often struggle to choose effective climate projects because of inconsistent verification standards, and transparency issues around carbon credits. Without clarity, it’s difficult to confidently invest in projects that deliver real impact. 
Not all carbon credits or projects adhere to the same rigorous standards, so businesses risk funding initiatives that fall short of meaningful climate contributions. It’s vital that businesses carefully choose reliable and certified projects.
<h3>How to select high-quality climate action projects with Ellers Farm</h3>
<a href="https://ecologi.com/ellersfarmdistillery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ellers Farm Distillery</a>, based in Yorkshire, operates with a strong commitment to responsibility, guided by the simple principle of balancing people, planet, and profit. Every employee at Ellers Farm receives an Ecologi Climate Action Workforce subscription, which supports high-quality climate projects on their behalf. 
Since October 2020, the distillery has funded the planting of over 8,800 trees and helped prevent the emission of 420 tonnes of CO2e through verified carbon avoidance projects. For example, Ellers Farm supports a high-quality forest protection project in Mataven, Columbia, safeguarding 1.15 million hectares of tropical forest while empowering over 16,000 indigenous people with education, infrastructure, and sustainable economic growth.

<h3>How to select high-quality climate action projects with Solo Service Group</h3>
<a href="https://ecologi.com/soloservicegroup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Solo Service Group</a>, a national provider of commercial cleaning services, is committed to mitigating the environmental impact of its operations and reducing its carbon footprint. Recognising the importance of climate action, the team were looking for a way to fund high-quality, transparent climate projects that were verified to international standards.
Reassured by Ecologi’s commitment to transparency, Solo Service Group is able to mitigate the unavoidable emissions from its fleet by confidently funding accredited carbon avoidance credits. This partnership aligns with the company’s bold goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2030, a full two decades ahead of the government’s target.
