  • Eco-Friendly Utilities | Reduce Carbon Footprint | Your Co-op and Ecologi

Your Co-op helping you make a greener choice

We know that you care about the environment and we do too. That's why we're providing you with greener options for your broadband and mobile services.

As a co-operative, we are committed to a fairer and better world for all. This is why we're working hard to reduce the impact of our customers carbon footprint by creating climate positive alternatives for broadband and mobile services with our climate impact partners, Ecologi.

 Our work with Ecologi offsets emissions through verified carbon credits, and also supports the planting of trees around the world.

Switch today and give back to the planet

We can help you make a step towards sustainability, without changing your lifestyle. Every month, we will fund projects to offset up to 50Kg of your broadband and mobile carbon footprint (that's about 5% of the footprint of an average person in the UK). That continues for as long as you use our services, so a typical 24 broadband month contract will see us offset 1.2 tonnes of CO2.

We'll also plant a tree each month your a customer which will contribute to future decarbonisation when the trees mature in 10-20 years' time. You can also track how many trees we are planting in the Your Co-op forest.

How does Ecologi make Your Co-op climate positive

Ecologi is Your Co-op's climate action partner, which allows us to have a greater influence on the products we offer by bundling in climate impact from Ecologi projects. This provides customers and members with simple solutions to cut their personal carbon footprint each month, just by being a user of our climate-positive products.

Ecologi funds carbon prevention and reduction projects that are certified at the very highest level by Gold Standard and equivalent. Their projects help aid the development of new renewables, introduce new low-carbon practices and improve sustainability all over the world.

Ecologi’s tree planting partner, Eden Reforestation Projects plant millions of trees every month around the world, you can follow their own journey here.

Who are Ecologi?

Ecologi are a social enterprise, who deliver positive climate impact each month by funding carbon reduction projects that are certified at the very highest level by Gold Standard and equivalent (fully evidenced and auditable). This climate-positive service is then made available for Your Co-op to offset the minor carbon usage of our climate-positive products/services (typically by 10x-20x over) and because the funding has an immediate impact, Ecologi's projects prevent the carbon being emitted or sequestering in the atmosphere.

Ecologi’s tree planting partner is the Eden Reforestation Projects, and they plant millions of trees every month around the world for future decarbonisation. Though in the present, the Your Co-op funded projects have aided the carbon reduction in Brazil, Honduras, Chile, Thailand, Egypt, Tanzania, India and in many other countries too, by harnessing sustainable practices and local cooperation.

Some of the projects we help support
