Helping you make a climate positive difference

We know that you care about climate change and we do too. That's why we're providing you with carbon cutting solutions through our broadband and mobile services.

As a Co-operative, we are committed to a fairer and better world for all. This is why we've created climate positive broadband and mobile products that reduce our customers' carbon footprint by working with our climate impact partners, Ecologi.

Our partnership with Ecologi means that each customer helps to fund emission reduction projects around the world through verified carbon credits.

How does Ecologi make Your Co-op climate positive

Ecologi is Your Co-ops 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 cut 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.
