Our Pledge to the Planet

At The Sutton Place Hotels, we are proud to partner with veritree as part of our sustainability commitment, planting 5 trees when a guest makes eco-friendly choices during their stay. Recently, we achieved an incredible milestone with over 500,000 trees planted!  

 

What is veritree? 

 

veritree was founded in 2019 by the team behind tentree, with the aim to empower businesses to restore the planet. veritree helps businesses to achieve more sustainable practices, through verified reforestation, and allows hotels like us, and individuals like you, to track the planting, growth, and success of the trees in real-time.  

 

veritree and The Sutton Place Hotels Partnership 

 

Our partnership with Veritree was established as we sought to strengthen our commitment to sustainability. 

With this partnership, we provided a new initiative for guest–your stay, your way–should a guest choose to participate, we plant 5 trees on their behalf. Partnering with veritree allows us and our guests to directly contribute to the restoration of vital ecosystems around the world. veritree has been instrumental in turning a simple opt-out program into a powerful environmental initiative that contributes to lasting change. 

Through veritree’s global reforestation initiative, we are planting trees–one stay at a time–and working towards a more sustainable future. veritree also ensures that every tree planted is fully traceable from start to finish. This includes both local and global projects focused on reforestation, conservation and land management. 

 

The Results 

 

The partnership with veritree has been hugely successful. As a result of this uptake from our guests, we’ve hit some amazing milestones: 

  • 563,220 trees have been planted (the equivalent of 10,289 studio apartments full of trees!) 

  • 142,064 tonnes of C02 to be sequestered (the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide)–that’s the equivalent of taking 30,884 cars off the road for a year! 

  • 58.2 hectares of land have been reforested, which has also led to 1135 days of work for local tree planters
