The commercial bridging finance company has directly funded the planting of 508 trees across Madagascar, Kenya, Uganda and Mozambique as well as achieved a reduction in 34.44 tonnes of CO2.

Every member of the Bridge Help team has been registered with Ecologi and carbon credits aligned according to their lifestyle.
Chris Sellars, chief executive of Bridge Help, said: “Prior to signing up to Ecologi, we made small steps in becoming a carbon neutral business however this has now been accelerated.
"What myself and the team particularly like about Ecologi, is that we are all offsetting our personal carbon output 24/7 whether we are working or not.
"It is something the whole team is passionate about and we’ll be taking further steps throughout 2022 and beyond to reduce our impact on the environment.
“We’re a growing business and it’s important to us all that our impact on the environment does not also increase. As we welcome new members to the team, they’ll also be automatically be signed up to Ecologi.”
