Connect Childcare has signed up to THG’s more: trees scheme, which will see the technology firm plant a tree in Madagascar for every Connect Childcare software demo booked. The aim is to have a ‘Connect Forest’ by July 2022.

The goal of the more: trees scheme is to help businesses and individuals take ‘impactful’ climate action to secure the future of the planet.

To launch the new pledge, Connect Childcare has donated 57 trees, which it says offsets its carbon footprint for at least a year, by removing over 17 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere - ‘equivalent to over 42,000 miles driven by the average car in the UK or the amount of energy it take to charge 1,702,997 smartphones’.
