The best sustainability partnerships are built on shared values, clear outcomes, and a deep understanding of your brand’s mission and audience.
Both Ecodrive and One Tree Planted offer impactful environmental projects, but there are key differences that set them apart.
If you’re looking to migrate from One Tree Planted to Ecodrive, our team can help (for free!).
Here’s a detailed breakdown to help you decide which is the better fit for your needs.
Why choose Ecodrive over other sustainability platforms?
One Tree Planted is a nonprofit organization dedicated to global reforestation.
Their key features include:
Tree Planting Projects: Focused solely on reforestation in various regions worldwide.
Nonprofit Transparency: As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, they provide detailed project updates and impact reports.
Accessible Partnerships: Work with businesses, individuals, and schools to support tree planting initiatives.
Simplified Contribution Model: A straightforward $1 = 1 tree planting framework.
Ecodrive helps businesses take climate action in a way that’s verifiable, customer-facing, and built for ongoing growth.
Whether you're planting trees, restoring kelp habitats, or removing plastic from the ocean, Ecodrive makes it easy to support credible environmental projects — and turn that impact into something your customers can see and engage with.
Support Verified Climate Projects: Contribute to a variety of trusted initiatives — from global reforestation and ocean cleanups to marine ecosystem restoration — with full confidence in where your impact is going.
Showcase Sustainability with Your Brand at the Center: Ecodrive offers fully branded assets like custom badges, impact dashboards, and marketing visuals that reflect your identity and help you tell a compelling, consistent story.
Backed by Real Data and Proof: Through proprietary tools like Impact IDs and visual Impact Evidence, each action you take is tracked, timestamped, and mapped — giving you and your customers a clear view of your environmental footprint.
Built to Fit Any Business Model: Run short-term campaigns, set up monthly contributions, or integrate Ecodrive directly into your customer journey — like planting a tree per order or removing a pound of ocean plastic per product sold.
Designed to Engage Your Audience: Give your customers something to connect with: live project updates, visual progress, and impact they can actually see. It’s transparency that builds trust and loyalty.
While both Ecodrive and One Tree Planted contribute to environmental restoration, Ecodrive stands out as the ideal choice for businesses seeking to integrate sustainability into their operations with:
A Broader Environmental Impact: Beyond tree planting, Ecodrive also tackles ocean plastic removal and kelp habitat restoration.
Designed to Scale Your Business: Ecodrive is built for growth. With plug-and-play integrations (Shopify, Klaviyo, APIs), co-branded marketing support, and performance tools that boost conversions and LTV, it’s a sustainability platform that drives results for the long-term.
Enhanced Transparency: Ecodrive provides robust impact evidence on a granular level ensuring your contributions are fully verified and shareable with your consumers.
Branding Opportunities: Tailored marketing tools to showcase your business’s impact in a way that suits your brand.
Engaged Storytelling: Keep customers involved and informed with personalized profiles and real-time evidence of their support.
If your focus is solely on reforestation and you’re looking for a nonprofit partner, One Tree Planted is a solid choice. Their offering is a straightforward $1 for 1 tree planted model which can be simple and effective to implement.
However, if you’re looking for a tech-forward, brand-aligned, and growth-oriented partner who delivers verified impact your customers can see on a per-project basis, Ecodrive is the clear winner.
Ecodrive is designed to continually grow your business by doing good.
"With Ecodrive, we can show our community more than just numbers. We can show them real, verified impact. From location photos to transparent data, it’s all there. That’s something our previous sustainability partner, One Tree Planted, couldn’t provide, and for us, it was a game-changer."
