Making an Impact, One Tree at a Time
At Crystal Galleries, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Through our partnership with Ecologi, we’ve made a commitment to give back to the environment with every purchase of our beech awards. For each award sold, a tree is planted in one of Ecologi’s reforestation projects around the world. We couldn’t have achieved this without the support of our valued customers. Together, we’re helping to create a greener, more sustainable future.
We’re excited to share that thanks to your purchases, we have successfully funded the planting of 1,143 trees across 10 unique projects globally 🌍💚
Our Ecologi Partnership and Its Impact
Our collaboration with Ecologi began with a shared mission: to reduce our environmental footprint and support reforestation efforts worldwide. By planting a tree for every beech award sold, we’re not just offsetting our carbon footprint but also contributing to the restoration of forests that have been impacted by deforestation and land degradation.
Each tree planted has a lasting impact on the environment, helping to sequester CO2, boost biodiversity, and restore healthy ecosystems. Through this initiative, we’re supporting community-led projects that go beyond planting trees—they create sustainable jobs, promote gender equality and provide diverse food sources for local communities.
A Snapshot of the Projects We Support
The 1,143 trees we’ve funded are part of reforestation efforts across various regions, each chosen for their environmental and community impact. Here’s a look at some of the incredible projects you’re helping us support:

Why Trees Matter—The Environmental and Community Benefits
Healthy trees are essential to our planet’s health. They act as climate champions by absorbing CO2, stabilising soil, and supporting diverse ecosystems. Here’s why tree planting is so impactful:
Sequestering Carbon: Trees naturally absorb and store carbon dioxide, helping to reduce the greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
Restoring Ecosystems: Planting trees helps restore degraded lands and provides habitats for wildlife, boosting biodiversity.
Supporting Local Communities: Reforestation projects create sustainable jobs, promote gender equality, and offer new income streams for communities, improving quality of life and supporting long-term development.
Improving Food Security: Many of the projects we support help establish forest gardens, which produce a variety of foods to support healthier diets and greater food security.
Through Ecologi’s community-led approach, these projects are carefully planned and managed to ensure long-term success and sustainability. By choosing to support eco-conscious businesses like Crystal Galleries, you’re playing an active role in promoting environmental and social benefits across the globe.
