Why Partner With Word Forest?

At Word Forest, we help companies strengthen ESG performance, engage employees, and build brand equity through climate-positive action. Our pioneering model – planting fast-growing trees, building schools, and empowering women – delivers measurable outcomes aligned to the SDGs:

  • SDG 13 – Climate Action
    Reforestation directly combats climate change by sequestering CO₂ and mitigating extreme weather.
  • SDG 15 – Life on Land
    Tree planting restores ecosystems, prevents desertification, and supports biodiversity.
  • SDG 4 – Quality Education
    Building schools and facilitating environmental education supports lifelong learning opportunities.
  • SDG 5 – Gender Equality
    Empowering women (Mothers of the Forest) ensures inclusive participation and leadership in sustainability.
  • SDG 1 – No Poverty
    Tree planting and agroforestry provide livelihoods, food, and income security.
  • SDG 2 – Zero Hunger
    Fruit, nut, and food-bearing trees improve local nutrition and food resilience.


Our work also contributes to a wider set of SDGs including 3, 8, 10, 12, 17.

Partnerships in Action

Case Study A: Oaklin

Challenge: Oaklin, a London-based management consultancy, wanted to make their sustainability strategy more tangible while leveraging their team’s expertise for social good.

Solution: Through a pro-bono partnership with Word Forest, Oaklin provided strategic consultancy that strengthened our governance, improved operational efficiency, and supported our ability to scale reforestation projects in Kenya.

Impact:

  • Enhanced programme delivery and impact reporting

  • Improved long-term sustainability of Word Forest operations

  • Created opportunities for Oaklin employees to apply professional skills in a high-impact, values-aligned setting

Quote:

“For us, the Word Forest approach is as refreshing as it is effective and is exactly what the SDGs are intended to encourage businesses towards.” – Dominic Hurndall, Founding Partner

Case Study B: Phat Pasty

Challenge: Phat Pasty Co, an award-winning food company with a strong vegan product line, wanted a simple, scalable way to connect product sales with environmental action.

Solution: For every vegan product sold, Phat Pasty contributed a small donation to Word Forest. While the unit amount was modest, the power of cumulative sales created significant environmental outcomes.

Impact:

  • Over 30,000 trees planted through product-linked donations

  • Tangible climate benefits for customers purchasing everyday products

  • Strengthened Phat Pasty’s sustainability credentials and customer engagement
