What is our Climate Action Commitment?
At NorthStar, we are committed to positive climate action. This means we offset a significant proportion of our carbon footprint by removing greenhouse gas emissions from the global environment.
We also help fund the world’s best climate crisis solutions. Every month we finance a number of climate action projects and contribute funding to ensure the planting of groves of trees in our company forest.
We have partnered with Ecologi, one of the UK’s leading environmental organisations to help us achieve this commitment.
How We Achieve Our Climate Action Commitment
Through our partnership with Ecologi, we achieve this commitment in three key ways:
Employee Carbon Footprint Offset Scheme
Every member of our team is climate friendly. This means we offset a significant proportion of our carbon footprint, including emissions from all business activities as well as employees homes, personal travel, holidays, food, hobbies and more.
Business Travel Reduction & Offset Scheme
We are committed to minimising business travel wherever possible but some business trips are unavoidable. That’s why we offset our business travel by planting trees and financing carbon reduction projects around the world.
Planting Trees & Funding Climate Projects
We help fund the world’s best climate crisis solutions. Every month we help finance a number of climate action projects and contribute funding to ensure the planting of groves of trees in our company forest.

About Ecologi
“Our collective home is in the process of being turned totally upside down which is leading to strife for almost all life on Earth. We know it’s preventable. And we know it’s not going to save itself. So, it is up to us to solve it. But what levers can we pull? Reducing our carbon footprint is entirely necessary, but the transition of change is far slower than the time we have remaining. The tools that we associate with fighting climate change are inadequate. What if that changed and the billions of us who care became empowered? There are enough climate solutions that are out there right now, that if we supported them, it’d undo 30 years of carbon damage by avoiding 1,500 billion tonnes of CO2. This is our opportunity.”
