WHO ARE WE?
Who is EcoMatcher?
EcoMatcher is a Certified B Corporation and TreeTech company making tree planting transparent, measurable, and engaging.
Through its technology platform, EcoMatcher enables businesses to plant and track real trees, strengthen customer loyalty, engage employees, and create meaningful sustainability experiences. EcoMatcher also offers transparent carbon removal solutions through TREES+.
How do these trees help our planet?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow, helping remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. They also support biodiversity, improve soil health, help prevent erosion, and contribute to healthier ecosystems.
Through its tree-planting partners, EcoMatcher also supports local communities and farmers, creating environmental, social, and economic benefits.
Where are these trees planted?
EcoMatcher works with carefully selected and vetted tree-planting partners across Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East. Planting locations vary by partner, season, and project availability.
Our partners work with local communities and farmers to determine which tree species to plant, where to plant them, and when to plant.
As EcoMatcher continues to expand its partner network, available planting locations may change over time. Please visit our website or contact us for the latest list of planting locations.
What is a B Corp?
A Certified B Corporation, or B Corp, is a for-profit company certified by B Lab for meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Companies must go through an assessment and verification process and recertify periodically to maintain certification.
The global B Corp movement continues to grow. For the latest figures and standards, we recommend visiting B Lab’s official website.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
How does EcoMatcher work?
EcoMatcher combines three core technologies to make tree planting transparent, measurable, and engaging.
TreeCorder records individual trees, including their GPS location, species, planting date, photographs, and farmer information.
TreeManager enables businesses to manage, gift, and integrate trees into employee engagement, customer loyalty, and other sustainability programs.
TreeTracker 3D allows recipients to virtually visit their trees, explore planting information and biodiversity, and connect with nature through interactive features, including TreeChat+.
Together, these technologies connect businesses, tree-planting partners, and tree recipients.
How much do the trees cost?
Tree cost starts at $3.79 USD per tree with a MOQ of 5 trees. The cost includes tree adoption for life and the ability to track the tree on EcoMatcher’s platform (both web and iOS/Android/Teams app). If you want to plant a Forest (MOQ is 1,000 trees) or Global Forest (MOQ is 3,000 trees), please get in touch with us at: contact@ecomatcher.com.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for trees?
There is a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 5 trees per purchase. For a Forest in your name, our MOQ is 1,000 trees, and for a Global Forest, that is 3,000 trees.
Who owns the trees?
EcoMatcher works with foundations specialized in tree planting to ensure trees are planted. Those foundations provide farmers with high-quality seedlings; they plant them on their land. Your purchase funds seedling growth, transportation to farmers, and farmers’ livelihoods and education. The farmers who care for the trees will own them, and your funding will also allow them to reap the benefits the trees may offer their community.
What tree species are planted?
EcoMatcher’s partner foundations decide what trees are being planted. They know the local situation best, together with the local communities and farmers. The trees planted are a mixture of, e.g., indigenous and fruit trees such as avocado and mango trees. Per foundation, an average of 5-8 species are planted. Through EcoMatcher’s TreeTracker, you will know the type of each tree planted; you even will see how your tree will look in 5-8 years.
What is a tree nursery, and where are those?
A tree nursery is an area/ place where young trees (seedlings) are grown and are given special care. Once the seedlings are ready to be planted, they are transported to the plot of land and planted by the foundations and farmers.
Our partner foundations either have their tree nurseries close to the areas where the seedlings finally are planted, minimizing transportation, or source seedlings from commercial and bespoken tree nurseries.
How does ForestSounds work?
In TreeTracker, users can immerse themselves in the tree’s local environment by listening to forest sounds. Generic ForestSounds are selected according to the tree’s weather conditions and time of day. Simply click the ForestSounds button located in TreeTracker.
How does the farmer's message work?
In addition to being able to see where their tree is located using TreeTracker, users can also see who the tree’s planter is and send a thank you message. All messages are sent one way to the farmer only. They are collected and translated by the tree planting organization and delivered to the planters on a regular basis. Whilst you will not get a response, please rest assured all messages are delivered!
To send a message to the farmer, simply click on the Send Message button in TreeTracker on EcoMatcher’s web version and under the information button on EcoMatcher’s TreeApp.
TREECHAT+
Why does EcoMatcher offer TreeChat+?
TreeChat+ makes connecting with nature more engaging and fun. It encourages people to learn about their trees, the surrounding environment, and biodiversity through interactive conversations.
Does TreeChat+ use energy?
Yes, like other digital services, TreeChat+ uses electricity to process conversations. We keep replies brief, though, and use lightweight AI models. Based on initial estimates, a typical TreeChat+ conversation of 5 messages generates about the same CO₂ as opening an average webpage.
EcoMatcher will continue exploring ways to further reduce TreeChat+’s environmental footprint.

The redeem page can be tailored to match your branding. For further details, contact EcoMatcher.
ARE WE TRUSTWORTHY AND SUSTAINABLE?
How does EcoMatcher select tree-planting foundations?
EcoMatcher understands that the quality of our tree-planting partners is one of the key pillars of success. We have developed a vetting process to help ensure that the tree-planting organizations we partner with are genuine and sustainable.
The vetting process consist:
- A questionnaire, see here;
- On-site visits by the EcoMatcher team;
- The signing of a contractual agreement.
How do I know if the tree I purchased is real?
EcoMatcher provides transparency down to the individual tree. Using our TreeCorder technology, each tree is digitally recorded with its GPS location, photograph, species, planting date, and information about the farmer caring for it.
Through TreeTracker, you can virtually visit your tree and explore these details. EcoMatcher also carefully vets its tree-planting partners to help ensure responsible planting and long-term care.
How do I tell if the tree I received is unique to me?
Details of every tree we plant are captured using a special app we developed called TreeCorder. TreeCorder is used by EcoMatcher’s partner foundations planting trees.
With TreeCorder, each tree is recorded with its unique photo, GPS location, planting date, species, and even the farmer who planted the tree. EcoMatcher seeks to bring complete transparency to the tree-planting process.
Will there be long-term care and growth of the tree I have purchased?
Farmers are carefully selected by the foundations with whom we partner. Like the foundations that sign a contractual agreement with EcoMatcher, the farmers also sign an agreement with the foundations promising they will take good care of the trees. This will also be in their best interest as the trees will help improve the condition of their soil, which can be used to grow other crops they can sell. Also, in some locations, fruit trees are planted that bear fruits already in their 3- year. Foundations will make it a point to check up on the trees regularly and will use EcoMatcher’s digital tree-planting maps.

EU GREENWASHING RULES
How does EcoMatcher help businesses address EU anti-greenwashing rules?
The European Union requires businesses to substantiate environmental claims with credible evidence. Under Directive (EU) 2024/825, new rules applying since September 27, 2026, restrict misleading environmental claims, unreliable sustainability labels, and certain carbon-neutrality claims based on offsetting.
EcoMatcher’s TreeTech helps businesses make more specific and transparent tree-planting claims by providing individual digital tree records, including GPS location, species, planting date, photograph, and planting partner.
For example, instead of simply stating “We planted 10,000 trees,” a company can refer to 10,000 individually recorded trees through EcoMatcher, with supporting information accessible for each tree.
Are EcoMatcher's carbon sequestration estimates independently certified?
EcoMatcher provides estimates of carbon sequestration, which should not be confused with independently verified carbon credits. For businesses requiring certified nature-based carbon removals, EcoMatcher offers TREES+, combining tree-level transparency with projects developed under recognized carbon standards, including Verra and Gold Standard.
