More than trees
Besides offsetting CO2, our users are stabilizing coastlines, nurturing marine life, and supporting local livelihoods in a region where the majority of the population lives below the poverty line. By joining hands with veritree, we've committed to four of the UN's sustainable development goals: no poverty, decent work and economic growth, climate action and life on land.

Focused on mangroves
Mangrove trees are exceptional carbon sinks! One mangrove tree can make up for 12.3 kg of CO2 per year. They are widely considered to be the best trees to fight climate change, because not only do they offset CO2, they also filter pollutants out of our water and act as nurseries for marine life.

Come and visit our tree
Mangrove trees are also rare champions in saltwater environments, and notably play a crucial role in protecting communities from natural disasters. If you're eager to witness these environmental superheroes up close, you can visit our very own mangrove at Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam!

What we've ordered so far
Since 2019, the bunq community has ordered 30 million trees. But planting is just the beginning. That's why we work with veritree to make sure every tree is planted under the right conditions and cared for afterward. With their tracking tools, you can see exactly when, where, and how your trees are helping the planet.
