WeForest

Why we’re growing trees

We ‘grow’ trees, because the impact of growing goes far further than just planting. After all, anyone can plant a tree, but not everyone can grow a tree! 

For every candidate referral we receive, we have committed to growing one tree with WeForest in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, as a thank you. This is because we know how important it is to restore the forests around our world. 

As a corporate sponsor of WeForest, Globe Locums has ensured that our charitable focus is driven by sustainability and environmental awareness.

Partnering with We Forest is something very important to us at Globe. As a company that sources and relocates healthcare professionals from all across the world to the UK, we felt it was important to do our bit in offsetting the impact of all this travel and to raise awareness amongst our clients and candidates about reforestation and reducing our carbon footprint. We wanted to be a business that sets the example to others and we felt this was the perfect vehicle to do this

What impact does planting trees have?

The Atlantic Forest in Brazil used to be 6 times the size of the United Kingdom, but over the course of 20 years, it has lost over 80% of its original forest cover due to agricultural expansion. “No other large tropical forest has suffered this much loss.”

So, what difference can you make? If you look at it this way, it takes 3 trees (or referred friends) to compensate 0.5 tonnes of CO2… that’s the same as a return flight from London to Mallorca. Not a bad trade to cover the carbon footprint for your summer holiday flights!
