At Motia, sustainability isn’t just a goal. It’s a commitment. That’s why since 2013, we’ve proudly partnered with Cool Earth, a charity dedicated to protecting rainforests and empowering Indigenous communities who are the true guardians of the planet’s most vital ecosystems.

Together, we’ve helped to make measurable, lasting change.

Our Impact:

Thanks to our continued partnership with Cool Earth, Motia has contributed:

  • £434,990 directly to rainforest communities
  • 6,463,669 tonnes of carbon kept safely stored in standing forests
  • 6,759,211 trees protected and thriving across critical rainforest regions

That’s not just carbon kept from the atmosphere. It’s livelihoods supported, biodiversity preserved, and ecosystems safeguarded for generations to come.

Why It Matters

Rainforests cover only 3% of the Earth’s surface, yet they’re essential for maintaining a stable climate and supporting 80% of the world’s terrestrial species. In 2024 alone, 6.7 million hectares of primary rainforest were destroyed — the equivalent of 18 football fields every minute.

Deforestation drives around 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making rainforest protection one of the most powerful climate actions any organisation can support.

Our Shared Mission

Cool Earth’s model is simple but transformative — supporting communities with direct funding, technology, and tools to help them protect their forests. From basic income pilots to innovative Rainforest Labs, this approach ensures that local people lead the way in tackling deforestation where it matters most.

At Motia, we believe real sustainability happens when businesses and communities work together. By supporting Cool Earth, we’re helping to protect over two million acres of rainforest and keep half a billion tonnes of carbon where it belongs — in the forest, not the atmosphere.

Looking Ahead

Our partnership with Cool Earth is more than a donation; it’s a promise. A promise to invest in people, protect the planet, and power progress responsibly.

Thank you to every Motia customer, partner, and employee. Your support is what makes this impact possible. Together, we’re not just tracking assets. We’re protecting the Earth’s greatest asset: the rainforest.
