Biztech Lawyers Partner with Climate Change Start-Up Trace

“You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily” - John C Maxwell

As technology lawyers we believe that tech will lead us to a brighter and greener future.  But that is no excuse to just sit and wait for that future - we need to make a difference now and there is so much we can do as individuals and as workforces to care for the future of our planet.

Whilst we may not be a manufacturing company with a big supply chain to improve on, there are everyday changes we can make to show more compassion towards the world we live in and all the species that inhabit it, such as using green energy, avoiding air travel, plant-based catering, eliminating single-use plastic and more.

But to go further, we are working with trace to fund climate action projects that can really make a positive difference by capturing more carbon than we emit. We are proud to be funding multiple projects that are detailed here on our Trace Biztech Lawyer Partner Page, including:

• Restoring and re-vegetating land with native flora to permanently protect and enhance Australian biodiversity. 
• Restoring the native forest of the Tootanellup reserve.
• Turning animal waste into biogas for farmers and communities in Kenya.

We live and breathe high-growth tech start-ups that are our future, and we see supporting projects with trace as an important step in living our values through all that we do, daily!

If you’re interested in climate positive action here is some more from the team at trace…. 

What it means to be ‘climate positive’

Being a climate positive brand means we have done what we can to minimise any negative environmental impact of doing business and chosen to offset the unavoidable emissions. 

Why? Because carbon offsets are a highly effective way of reducing CO2 pollution in communities across the world. Without the funds received from the carbon credits we buy, biodiversity projects would not be feasible, mangrove forests could not be restored, rural communities could not afford to install and operate wind farms, African communities would burn wood to get clean water and remote industrial towns would have to resort to fossil fuels. 

We chose to offset through trace because they handpick high-integrity projects and bring to life the amazing impact of these projects, so that our clients can rest assured that we are leaving a positive trace. Offsets are not the panacea, but they play an important role in restoring balance in our atmosphere and a great way for our team to take action.
