Australia, Nov 26, 2024
In 2023, Logicalis made a commitment to playing a proactive role in environmental sustainability by partnering with Carbon Positive Australia to restore land and biodiversity across the country. As part of our sustainability pledge, for every badge scanned at our events and for every attendee at our exclusive events, we fund the planting of native trees throughout Australia. This initiative has resulted in the planting of over 2,700 native trees, helping to offset carbon while supporting habitat restoration and biodiversity.
Why we've partnered with Carbon Positive Australia
At Logicalis, we recognise our responsibility to drive initiatives that make a lasting impact on the planet. As part of our environmental commitment, we’ve set ambitious goals: to achieve carbon neutrality for scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 and reach net zero by 2050. Reaching these milestones requires meaningful collaboration, which is why we’ve partnered with Carbon Positive Australia—an organisation deeply rooted in the Australian landscape and focused on effective, community-driven restoration projects.
Carbon Positive Australia is dedicated to more than just carbon offsets. Their native tree planting projects aim to restore landscapes and biodiversity, preserving our much-loved Australian environment for future generations. By addressing areas with the greatest need, they ensure their impact is both strategic and substantial.
Together, we’re working to restore ecosystems, support biodiversity, and create a healthier planet.
Why is this important
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth and is essential for maintaining the balance of our ecosystems and the overall health of our planet. However, biodiversity loss continues to be a critical challenge that we face. The World Economic Forum estimates that over 50% of global GDP relies on nature and its ecosystem services. Currently Australia has some of the highest rates of land clearing and species loss globally, ranking fourth in global extinction rates.
How our donations go beyond tree planting
Our commitment to Carbon Positive Australia is about more than simply planting trees. Each donation supports a comprehensive restoration process that prioritises ecological integrity and long-term sustainability. Here’s how our support is making a difference:
• Species selection
• Seed collection of native species
• Site preparation
• Planting
• Monitoring
• Project management
• Community engagement
Our impact so far
Through our partnership with Carbon Positive Australia, we have already planted more than 2,700 native tree and shrubs in high-need areas across the country and will continue to do as part of our sustainability pledge.
Where are the trees
Our funding is allocated strategically to areas in Australia where it’s needed most. Carbon Positive Australia directs our support toward key projects that focus on restoring diverse and ecologically important regions:
