Turn corporate giving into a year of employee engagement and ESG sustainability impact
Today’s employees increasingly want to work for organizations that demonstrate purpose, environmental responsibility, and positive social impact. At the same time, organizations are looking for meaningful ways to strengthen employee engagement while advancing their ESG, CSR, and sustainability commitments.
Purpose on the Planet helps bring these goals together.
The ReWrite Our Story sustainability employee engagement program links charitable giving for community-led environmental restoration to sustainability education and practical everyday action—creating an experience that can engage employees throughout the year and remind them each month of the organization’s meaningful commitment to supporting people and planet.
Why do organizations choose our sustainability employee engagement program?
Many organizations work to mark annual environmental events such as Earth Day, World Environment Day, or Earth Overshoot Day, and launch targeted ESG sustainability initiatives. However, the challenge is then maintaining that enthusiasm throughout the rest of the year.
Lasting engagement doesn’t come from information alone. It comes from creating recurring moments that inspire employees to connect with a shared purpose and see the real-world impact their organization is making.
The ReWrite Our Story program can help organizations strengthen:
✔ New employee onboarding
✔ Employee engagement
✔ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives
✔ ESG sustainability metrics
✔ Sustainability education and environmental stewardship
✔ Community impact and workplace culture

Why does this sustainability employee engagement approach work so well?

• Earth Month, Earth Overshoot Day or World Environment Day
• Workplace giving or matching gift campaigns
• ESG sustainability initiatives
• CSR programs
• Green Teams
• Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
A range of positive outcomes for organizations and their employees
Employees become part of an ongoing story of restoration, resilience, and positive change—while discovering practical ways to make a difference in their own lives. By the end of the year, they will:
✔ Better understand today’s environmental and social challenges|

The program complements existing sustainability strategies by connecting global impact with everyday action.
What do employees receive throughout the year?

Your Global Impact shares project updates, photos, stories, and measurable outcomes from the communities your organization is helping support.
Sustainable Solutions explores one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals each month and provides practical recommendations, digital tools, and actionable tips employees can use at work, at home, and within their communities.
Together, these experiences create a year-long journey of learning, inspiration, and positive action.
Can employees donate themselves through our company's workplace giving or matching gift program?
Yes. Purpose on the Planet is registered with many of today’s leading workplace giving and employee engagement platforms, making it easy for employees to support our work through payroll giving, employer matching, or corporate giving programs where available. If your organization uses one of these platforms, employees may be able to increase the impact of their contribution through employer matching.
What impact does our organization's support create?
Every $5 contributed per participating employee helps provide work and income for a community participant living in extreme poverty to plant 10 trees through our Recruit & Restore projects in Madagascar and Tanzania. These community-led restoration projects strengthen local livelihoods, restore biodiversity, improve climate resilience, and have been recognized by the United Nations as a 2030 Sustainable Development Goals Acceleration Action supporting progress toward 12 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Is this program suitable for organizations of all sizes?
Absolutely. Whether your organization has a small team or thousands of employees across multiple locations, the program is designed to be flexible and scalable. It can complement existing ESG, CSR, employee engagement, workplace giving, or sustainability initiatives while helping build a stronger culture of purpose, collaboration, and positive impact throughout the year.
Why is this different from a traditional corporate donation or one-day volunteer event?
Most corporate giving initiatives focus on a single campaign, event, or awareness day. Our program extends that experience across the entire year. Employees don’t just make a donation—they follow the impact their organization is creating, explore one Sustainable Development Goal each month, and discover practical ways to make a difference in their own workplace, home, and community. The result is a more meaningful and lasting connection between your organization’s values, your employees, and the positive change you’re creating together.
