The Benefact Group is built of businesses that are recognised as specialists across financial services. Owned by a charity, the Group is driven by the belief that everyone benefits from better business – doing right by its customers earns their continued support, enabling the Group to give all available profits back to charities and good causes.

The Group is committed to challenging and influencing who it invests in, supporting the customers it insures to help them become more climate resilient, and decarbonising its operations while supporting a range of climate and environmental charities.

As part of our commitment, we are proud to be partnering with Furthr to offset our company carbon footprint. This year we are supporting 3 projects in India, Panama and Germany.

Our team can do their part too. The Furthr flexible benefit allows our employees to fund climate projects, measure their own carbon footprint and learn how to live more sustainably everyday. Plus, Benefact Group will match each monthly contribution - doubling our employees' impact!

New Investment Strategy

Benefact Group launch a new investment strategy including a Responsible & Sustainable investment policy aligned with the Paris Agreement’s goals to limit global warming to 1.5C.

2021

Net Zero

Benefact Group measure emissions for the second year and devise a Net Zero plan for direct impact (scopes 1 & 2). Commitment to decarbonisation begins through fleet transition and relocating to more energy-efficient offices.

2023

Net Negative

Benefact Group aim for a net negative direct impact across scope 1 and 2 through investing in highly assured offsets provided by a charitable partner.

2025

Wipe Out Historic Impact

Benefact Group want to invest in high quality offset projects to wipe out the historic carbon impact of scope 1 and 2 emissions.

2030

Net Zero Group

Benefact Group are ambitious to reach Net Zero by 2040.

The Problem

From 2002 to 2023, Panama lost 19% of its total tree cover. This includes large areas of primary forests, cut down to make way for agriculture and mono-cropping. These changes to the landscape limit the country’s carbon sequestration capacity, threaten biodiversity and leave parts of Panama at much higher risk of erosion, soil degradation, and contamination from agricultural runoff.

The Solution

ForestFinance are reforesting land previously used for cattle ranching with a mixture of native species, species used for sustainable timber production and organic agriculture. This combination promotes biodiversity in the area, improves carbon sequestration, and supports economic growth in the region.

The Problem

The regions of Assam and Odisha face severe ecological challenges due to unsustainable agricultural practices and the vulnerability of monocultures to climate threats. Traditional burning and decay of biomass not only waste potential carbon sequestration opportunities but also contribute to local pollution and loss of biodiversity.

The Solution

The project only uses agricultural waste streams that are usually left to decay or burned in open fields (bamboo, woody trimmings, corn cobs, rice straw, etc) to transform agricultural waste into a valuable resource. Surplus biomass is heated in soil pits in a low-oxygen environment, a process called pyrolysis, that prevents the carbon from turning into carbon dioxide and escaping into the atmosphere. The end product is biochar, a highly stable carbonized material, which is then mixed with manure and added to soil, where it acts as a fertiliser and remains stable for a long time. The project aims to improve local ecosystems, boost farmers' incomes, and achieve substantial carbon sequestration.

The Problem

Over 60% of Europe’s forests are at risk of the effects of climate change and especially monoculture forests, which face increased repercussions from storms, droughts and pests. In Germany alone, there are more than 3 million hectares of monocultures that need to be turned into biodiverse mixed forests to increase their climate resilience and increase biodiversity and carbon capture.

The Solution

With the Lake Kessel climate protection project, Pina Earth is converting 93 hectares of pine monoculture forest in Brandenburg into a near-natural, biodiverse mixed forest over 30 years. The introduction of new species, the promotion of natural rejuvenation and the adapted game management make the forest more resistant to the consequences of climate change such as storms, drought and beetle infestation.
