January 2026 is a great moment to reflect on the practical ways businesses can support climate action. Through our eco-project partner Ecologi, we help fund environmental projects around the world, focusing on initiatives that deliver measurable benefits for people and nature. This month, we\u2019re spotlighting two projects: Project 1, fuel-efficient cookstoves in Uganda, and Project 2, restoring degraded land in Brazil.<\/p>\n

Project 1: fuel-efficient cookstoves in Uganda<\/b><\/p>\n

Clean cooking solutions offer a transformative opportunity for the 2.3 billion people without access to safe, efficient cooking alternatives. In many communities, traditional cooking methods rely on open fires or inefficient stoves, which can produce high levels of indoor air pollution and require large amounts of fuel. Fuel-efficient cookstoves address these challenges by using less wood or charcoal while producing the same cooking heat.<\/p>\n

For households, the impact can be immediate: less time spent collecting fuel, lower ongoing fuel costs, and improved indoor air quality. Reducing smoke exposure is particularly important for those who spend the most time near cooking areas, helping to support healthier homes and day-to-day wellbeing.<\/p>\n

From an environmental perspective, improved efficiency means lower fuel demand and reduced pressure on local forests. When scaled, these programmes can also contribute to cutting greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the amount of biomass burned and improving combustion, supporting a more sustainable path for communities and the landscapes they depend on.<\/p>\n

Project 2: restoring degraded land in Brazil<\/b><\/p>\n

Brazil\u2019s Atlantic Forest is one of the most biologically rich regions on the planet, with over 23,000 plant species, 40% of which are endemic to the Atlantic Forest. A third of those species cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Restoring degraded land in and around this ecosystem helps rebuild habitats, strengthen biodiversity, and improve the resilience of local environments.<\/p>\n

Land restoration typically involves replanting native species and supporting natural regeneration, helping to reconnect fragmented forest areas over time. This can create healthier corridors for wildlife, improve soil quality, and support better water regulation in the surrounding landscape, benefiting both ecosystems and local communities.<\/p>\n

Restoration also plays a role in climate action by increasing carbon storage as trees and vegetation grow. While it\u2019s not a quick fix, it is one of the most credible long-term approaches to supporting nature recovery, especially in regions where unique species and habitats are under pressure.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re proud to have funded the planting of 4689 trees since the start of our partnership with Ecologi over 4 years.<\/p>\n
