Plant-for-the-Planet is a global movement empowering young people and organizations to restore forest ecosystems and fight for climate justice. To do so, we educate young people, restore ecosystems, conduct restoration research, provide free software tools and restoration advice for organizations around the world.
We believe that we need to protect the world’s three trillion trees and bring back a further one trillion trees.

The Plant-for-the-Planet Foundation is the sole shareholder of Plant-for-the-Planet Service GmbH, which is responsible for issuing and brokering licenses, acquiring and supporting sponsors and communicating the idea and values of Plant-for-the-Planet.
It does this by selling the Change Chocolate and purchasing and retiring CO2 certificates, among other things.
Furthermore, the Foundation holds 100% of the shares in Guten Holding UG, which in turn holds 100% of the shares in Woodola GmbH. Woodola was an online platform for sustainable unique wood products. It is being dissolved.
