1 coachee = 1 tree: creating a tangible impact

Updated: Apr 20, 2023

I am interested by all things sustainable, as a citizen. I am not perfect, but I try to do my best.


When I set up my business as an HR consultant and a coach, I wondered how I could link HR and sustainability (there wasn’t an obvious link!), and this is how I shaped my mission of “bringing sustainable and virtuous change for organizations and individuals”.


It means advocating for projects and missions that help organizations and people improve their well-being and engagement (generally speaking), commit to positive and long lasting change, for the better.


When I have the occasion, I also support individuals and organizations involved in the green economy. That is also in that spirit that I contribute to The Matcha Initiative and designed the #HR category (link in the comments), helping companies in Singapore (but not only) build sustainable HR practices.


I am also regularly looking at how I can contribute more, and came up with the following - as a starting point (and yes, I agree, we can always do better, but we have to start somewhere, right?):


🌳 🌴 🌱 🌿 I decided to plant a tree for every person I coached in 2022 (would it be through my company EDLT.global or via my other partnerships). 🌳 🌴 🌱 🌿


To date, I have funded 𝟰𝟲 𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔, to be planted in a mangrove in Indonesia. 1 tree per coachee! So, if we have worked together on your coaching project in 2022, then there is a mangrove tree planted in Indonesia for you!



To other coaches, consultants, freelancers, etc… if you want to take a step, hopefully my experience will inspire you to do something similar.


There is more to come, as my next step is to identify and offset my carbon footprint. Work in progress, I will share more soon 😊

PS: Thanks to Nga (Mimi) NGUYEN from Handprint (who is also part of The Matcha Initiative) who helped me to turn this idea into action!

Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in Handprint, but found their app super easy to use for small companies like mine.
