Greener eBusiness UK invests in Ethiopian forest

eBusiness UK is proud to announce its involvement in a valuable project in Ethiopia, which has also helped us become carbon neutral.

Escalating problem

The escalating problem of climate change is something which concerns us, and we have decided that it is time for us to act.

Our investment has seen hundreds of trees planted in the developing African country to offset our carbon emissions and help support the local population.

Kam Kothia, was the driving force behind the decision to plant the trees through the CarbonMe.org scheme.

Protecting the future

Kam said: “I have been lucky enough to travel the world through business and pleasure and so it is important for me personally that we do our best to protect it for future generations.”

Jonathan Stross, who founded CarbonMe.org, said: “We plant the trees in areas like Ethiopia, because they grow much faster in that climate and absorb three times as much carbon, but it also provides a sustainable income which provides food and medication for the local population.”

Get involved

As well as planting trees to neutralise its carbon output, eBusiness UK has developed a number of environmentally friendly eBusiness applications for its customers which have reduced the use of paper and the need to travel, helping further reduce the number of trees felled and fuel related carbon emissions.
