Play it Green has a unique employee sustainability initiative which, for a nominal monthly subscription cost, you can rebalance your employees' personal carbon footprint in their daily lives and thus make them climate positive. Their philosophy is simple – replanting trees all across the world to repair damage caused.

The initial repair and rebalancing is achieved by planting trees in places that have suffered severe deforestation, such as Madagascar. The planting of trees in these countries delivers a huge environmental and social impact by reducing extreme poverty whilst providing jobs, food, and sustainable habitat. Trees filter water, prevent floods, help wildlife flourish, and regulate the climate.
