BidCraft Joins Organization to Help Climate Crisis

BidCraft has signed up to Ecologi, a subscription service that helps businesses lower their impact on the climate, to help fund carbon offset projects and responsible tree planting around the world. Jon Darby, managing director at BidCraft, says, “We’re offsetting our carbon emissions and becoming a climate positive workforce by growing a company forest. Not only that, but every time someone buys one of our APMP certification courses, we’ll fund the planting of 25 trees. Bring a team or refer a friend, and we’ll go further. We’ve already applied this retrospectively to everyone who’s ever bought a course, which has funded thousands of new trees — literally a BidCraft forest!”
