TrainPal Teams Up with Ecologi to Champion Sustainable Travel and Carbon Reduction in the Rail Industry
Planting trees is one of the best nature-based solutions to tackle climate crisis. Trees enhance biodiversity and naturally help to restore ecosystems we rely on. They also provide economic opportunities for local communities. The app will update customers on the projects and progress that has been made on a regular basis and the 'grow your forest' feature visually represents the number of trees planted, designed to provide customers with a clear and tangible view of their personal contribution to global climate action. The TrainPal Ecologi dashboard will also showcase the collective efforts of all customers climate action.
Nigel Gu, International Train Marketing Director at TrainPal, remarked, "Our partnership with Ecologi is a critical step in our mission to promote sustainable travel by funding climate action through planting trees whilst ensuring that our customers are educated and engaged in their travel's environmental impact. We see this partnership as a crucial step towards a more equitable and sustainable future in travel."
Steve Dickenson, Senior Commercial Manager at Ecologi, stated, "Building climate action into everyday business practices and transactions is one of the easiest and most visible ways to promote and contribute to the climate crisis. In our experience visualizing climate action and making it tangible to businesses significantly increases customer engagement. Trainpal's initiative is a great example of Beyond Value Chain Mitigation aligned to their operational carbon reduction plan."
