Almond empowers anyone to become carbon balanced by turning responsible spending intro trees. Our mission is to help as many people reach Net Zero carbon emissions as quickly as possible in four easy steps:
1. UNDERSTAND your carbon footprint
Easily calculate your carbon footprint in two minutes with our chatbot Gaia and we’ll reward you by planting your first tree and protecting 5 trees in the Amazon rainforest.
2. DISCOVER responsible brands
Explore our ethical brand directory to find the UK’s leading brands dedicated to improving key environmental and social issues - and switch to start lowering your footprint.
3. EARN offset coins when you switch
Use your bank cards as a force for good, by connecting them to Almond and earning Offset Coins whenever you make purchases from participating brands.
4. OFFSET your carbon footprint
Collect Offset Coins which plant and protect trees that offset your carbon footprint. Grow your forest to achieve a carbon balanced lifestyle and reach your personal CO2 Net Zero.
How do Almond Offset Coins work?
• Offset Coins fund nature-based offsetting solutions such as tree planting and protection, as well as research, advocacy and development projects critical to solving climate change. Our trusted partners include the WWF, Eden Reforestation Projects and the Rainforest Trust UK. 1 Offset Coin = 1 tree planted + 5 trees protected.
• All participating brands in our directory have a badge indicating how much you need to spend to unlock an Offset Coin. Typically £10 spent grants you 1 Offset Coin. In the ‘Offset’ section of Almond you can easily see each project’s details, location, real-time growth in addition to the CO2 offsetting power of your trees.
