ESW

Our work is to establish and conserve permanent native woodland in Ireland, encouraging land regeneration and biodiversity. What inspired you to work with Hometree?
ESW is committed to being the leading advocate for sustainability in global DTC ecommerce. We strive to leverage our worldwide network of suppliers and partners to deliver high impact, low footprint solutions for our clients, drive change through innovation, efficiency through scale, and understanding through education. Supporting the growth and preservation of native woodlands not only contributes to enhanced carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation but also improves the health of our local ecosystems.

You will not see some of the trees you are planting reach maturity, what has inspired such a long term vision?
ESW recognises the role we can and must play in making a positive contribution to society. There is no quick fix for sustainability which is why we believe strongly in making long-term commitments and changes in how we operate.

Have there been any key moments you can share about how you or your organisation decided to support a more abundant and healthier world?
Our perspective is that above and beyond commercial sustainability we have a duty to operate in an Environmentally and Socially responsible manner throughout our supply chain. Our Environmental, Social and Governance (‘ESG’) focus is not a discretionary, lofty aspiration. COVID has shown how our world is changing. As new ways of working, engaging and consuming continue to evolve, consumers and brands increasingly view ESG considerations as a key differentiator.

Would you like to share any key lessons life has taught you?
The importance of sustainability cannot be overestimated, we are at a critical point globally with the current climate situation, whether you’re a producer, consumer, or anywhere in between we all need to step up and reduce our emissions where possible.
