Vestone Capital’s Environmental Partnership with Greenfleet
At Vestone Capital, we recognise the importance for our business to take environmental action, reduce the impact that we have and to contribute towards sustainable development. We are committed to working towards a greener and sustainable future.
Vestone Capital is proud to be partnering with Greenfleet, a leading not-for-profit environmental organisation, to support native restoration and environmental outcomes through native reforestation projects.
Established over 25 years ago, Greenfleet is Australia’s first carbon offset provider dedicated towards planting native biodiverse forests to capture carbon emissions and help fight the impacts of climate change. Since 1997, Greenfleet has planted over 10 million trees across 500 forests in Australia and New Zealand. As they grow, these forests absorb carbon, improve soil and water quality, and restore habitat for native wildlife, including many endangered species. Through practical climate action, Greenfleet is growing hope for our climate, and we are proud to be a part of this.
Finance your equipment directly with Vestone Capital and for every contract settled, five trees will be planted in support of Greenfleet’s Ngulambarra reforestation project.
For a limited time, from 1 December 2022 to 31 March 2023, Vestone Capital will double the impact for every equipment contract settled. This means that for every finance contract settled during this period, Vestone Capital will increase the number of trees planted from five to TEN trees.
We are pleased to announce that all councils using the LGP1107-3 Contract and settle equipment finance through Vestone Capital will automatically receive this benefit at no cost to the council.
Ngulambarra Project
Ngulambarra is a 340-hectare property located north of Wedderburn in Central Victoria, that was previously cleared for farming. Greenfleet has been working with the traditional custodians of the land, the Dja Dja Wurrung people since 2020, planting native seedlings and native seeds. The forest will be protected for the next 100 years, ensuring it can reach its full potential and provide benefits to generations to come.
The trees Greenfleet plants at Ngulambarra will directly contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
Reconnecting habitat for isolated populations of threatened pecies, including Lace Monitors, Woodland Blind Snakes as well as native birds such as Little Button-quails, Shy Heathwrens, Inland Thornbills and many other species listed as vulnerable or endangered (SDG 15: Life on land).
Taking critical climate action by creating legally protected biodiverse, native forests on the property (SDG 13: Climate action).
Improving site hydrology, soil erosion and salinity issues (SDG 15: Life on land).
Creating climate resilient ecosystems to help safeguard precious woodlands from the impacts of climate change (SDG 13: Climate action).
Supporting Traditional Owners in the active management of natural resources on site to ensure connection to Country, and to develop sustainable economic outcomes for their community (SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth).
We are proud to be offering customers a sustainable way of financing.
