BioPak has today announced a new partnership with verified restoration platform veritree, committing to fund almost 60,000 verified trees over the next 18 months to support ecosystem restoration projects in British Columbia, Canada, and Tanzania.
Through veritree’s technology platform, every planting session is monitored and verified using real-time field data, enabling BioPak to track restoration outcomes across biodiversity, water systems, land recovery, local livelihoods, and carbon sequestration estimates.
The initiative marks a significant evolution in BioPak’s long-standing tree planting commitment, providing full transparency into where trees are planted and the environmental and community outcomes they generate. This builds on BioPak’s broader sustainability strategy, with 95% of its products now made from renewable materials and 74% of its paper and wood products FSC® certified.
“Planting trees has been part of who we are since 2010, but this partnership takes our commitment to a new level,” said Richard Fine, Founder of BioPak.
“With veritree, our restoration efforts are triple-verified, backed by photo evidence and walking paths, and we’re able to measure the real impact on ecosystems and communities. That accountability is exactly what meaningful climate action requires.”
As part of the partnership, BioPak has launched a dedicated Impact Hub, a publicly accessible dashboard that provides real-time visibility into the company’s restoration efforts. The platform allows customers, partners and stakeholders to track progress as trees are planted, explore project locations, and measure outcomes including the area restored, tree species, and carbon sequestration estimates.
BioPak’s partnership with veritree builds on its environmental restoration legacy, with 210,630 trees planted through partnerships with Rainforest Rescue and other environmental organisations since 2010, Greenfleet and Ecologi.
“Our platform was built to bring transparency and trust to nature restoration” said David Luba, Head of Partnerships at veritree. BioPak’s commitment to measuring real outcomes, rather than simply counting trees, demonstrates the kind of leadership needed to scale meaningful environmental action.”
According to the United Nations, forests cover approximately 31 per cent of the Earth’s land area, yet nearly 100 million hectares have been lost since 1990. BioPak’s latest commitment contributes to global efforts to restore degraded landscapes and strengthen ecosystem resilience.
The announcement builds on BioPak’s Give Back Fund program, which has supported tree planting and environmental restoration initiatives for more than 15 years, reflecting a holistic approach to creating positive impact and demonstrates how business can be a genuine force for good
