Our Story
GreenTheUK was founded in 2021 by siblings Xanthe and Edmund Caldecott with the vision of helping businesses support local, tangible wildlife projects that deliver real impact.
What started as a simple idea to connect businesses with initiatives to address the climate crisis and restore nature has developed into a fast-growing, female-led company that partners with numerous knowledgeable charities across the UK to deliver hundreds of projects every year.
Our first charity partner, the Royal Forestry Society, focused our early efforts in UK climate-resilient tree planting. Today, GreenTheUK’s projects span land, sea, and local communities, offering businesses the opportunity to contribute to a wide range of habitats and protect a diverse array of wildlife species. From transforming small urban spaces - like roundabouts, healthcare sites, local parks, and schools - into wildlife stepping-stones to supporting larger rural projects, you can choose where to make a real difference.
At the heart of our work is biodiversity. Whether it's about restoration, protection, or monitoring, GreenTheUK’s initiatives are designed to make a measurable difference. We understand the complexities of organising and coordinating multiple partnerships and projects, which is why we take care of the planning, delivery, and reporting of your programme.
Whether you’re a small company or a large corporation, we make it easy for you to get involved and support local wildlife projects. We work closely with you to create a tailored plan that fits your business needs while ensuring your support has a lasting, positive impact on local habitats and wildlife. You can choose to support one or multiple projects across different habitats.
Education and engagement are also fundamental to what we do. With Xanthe’s background in teaching, we understand the importance of motivating future changemakers and creating a domino effect in businesses and schools. Through our school projects, we help create or enhance green spaces, offer unique opportunities to learn how to plant trees, veg or wildflowers, and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. We also encourage businesses to engage in volunteering activities, offering team-building opportunities that get employees outside and connected with nature.
From boosting biodiversity across habitats to driving positive environmental change and creating social value, GreenTheUK is committed to creating a more balanced world for nature, climate, and people. Join us in our mission to green the globe, starting on your doorstep. Together, we can make a real, lasting impact - one project at a time.
