Climate Friendly Workforce
Sustainable hydration for the nation...

Trees Planted
1023.38 tonnes
CO2 Reduced
We have committed to plant a tree for every hydration water cooler or hot tap that we sell which is over 500 trees every single month!
In the last six months we planted over 8000 trees and removed over 250 tonnes of CO2 through our carbon neutral programmes.
See full details of the projects we support, here.
Example project:
Mangrove planting in Madagascar
In recent years, vast areas of Madagascar’s original forests have been destroyed, displacing entire animal species and diminishing local people’s ability to farm and live on the land. Entire mangrove estuaries are also gone, leaving the bare earth to wash away into the sea. These mangrove forests are not only crucial carbon sinks, they also provide habitats for a wide range of marine species that live in the shallows, and provide vital coastal protection from floods and storms.

We have partnered with UK-based environmental firm Ecologi, who plant trees and fund the world’s best climate crisis solutions. Already in our short relationship, The WCD Group can now state that it has a climate friendly workforce, which is the FIRST in the hydration industry!
As part of our sustainability vision to do more for the planet and combat the effects of climate change, our work with Ecologi allows us to offset the emissions from our team’s personal and professional lives resulting in the fact that our whole workforce is now climate friendly! It's an achievement that supports our actions to deliver sustainable hydration.
Ecologi reminds us that reducing our carbon footprint is entirely necessary, but the transition of change is far slower than the time we have remaining. The tools that we associate with fighting climate change are inadequate.
What if that changed and the billions of us who care became empowered? There are enough climate solutions that are out there right now, that if we supported them, it would undo 30 years of carbon damage by avoiding 1,500 billion tonnes of CO2.
Example project:
Coastal mangrove restoration in Zambezia
The Irregele Milato planting site comprises 756 hectares in the Quelimane District of Zambezia Province, where today, local people often rely on fishing, agriculture and charcoal production for their livelihoods. The necessity for timber for income and for use in daily life has led to extensive deforestation in the area, and flooding in these deforested areas also causes further damage to the ecosystem and to people’s homes and property.

As a hydration equipment supplier, we have committed to plant a tree for every water cooler or hot tap that we sell which equates to around 1000 trees every single month! So, we thank you for your future business as it is directly helping the climate crisis.
Check out our live progress here and see the 28416 trees we have already planted in the past week and the live forestation projects we are supporting around the world. Some projects will be in the UK, too.
This will dynamically update each month and we predict we will plant over 8000 trees and remove over 250 tonnes of CO2, every 6 months!
As a business you can compensate your carbon footprint, fund climate projects and set eco goals that do make a difference to our world.
Trees fight climate change and are the ultimate carbon capture and storage machines, locking it up for centuries. As trees grow, they remove carbon dioxide from the air, store carbon in the trees and soil, and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
