What hold.earth does

hold.earth is a Vilnius-based, privately held Lithuanian company founded in 2022 that organizes corporate forest-planting events on former agricultural land (barren meadows, pastures) across five sites in the Vilnius, Trakai, Švenčionių, and Kupiškio districts of Lithuania. Its single offering is a team-building service in which corporate clients purchase seedlings and an on-site planting experience; the company provides instruction, seasonal logistics (spring and autumn), a post-event forest survival report, and a 'Climate Hero' digital badge. The business reports 250,000 trees planted, 100+ hectares of new forest, a 99% survival rate, and 100 hectares currently in VERRA certification.

The revenue model is straightforward professional services: quote-based pricing tied to seedling count and site selection, sold through direct enterprise outreach and website inquiries, with no public price list, self-service channel, or marketplace. Customer segmentation is horizontal and aimed at companies seeking sustainability credentials and employee engagement; one visible reference client is the 'Davines Giraitė 2023' project. Underlying technology is minimal — the company has no proprietary software platform, API, or AI components; its digital footprint is limited to a website, contact form, and social media accounts.

The company is operated by co-founders Darius Tamauskas (CEO) and Vytautas Zabulis, sits in the 1-10 employee range, has no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, no patents, no formal partnerships, and operates only in Lithuania. The strategic emphasis visible from the data is on geographic consolidation within Lithuania, third-party validation of carbon claims via VERRA, and conversion of physical planting activity into a potentially tradeable carbon-credit asset over time.

Broad incumbents

• Ecosia: Search engine that funds large-scale reforestation projects through ad revenue. Adjacent in funding tree planting at scale, though monetizes via consumer traffic rather than corporate events.
• South Pole Group: Global climate solutions provider developing nature-based carbon projects and selling credits to corporates. Overlaps with hold.earth in nature-based project development and corporate climate services, but at much larger scale.
• DGB Group: Nature-based solutions company developing large-scale carbon and reforestation projects globally. Comparable in developing nature-based carbon assets, with broader project portfolio and capital base.

Direct peers

• Ecologi: UK-based platform that enables businesses and individuals to fund tree planting and carbon-reduction projects. Directly comparable to hold.earth's corporate tree-planting and climate-action reporting model.
• veritree: Reforestation platform that connects brands to verified tree-planting projects with monitoring and impact reporting. Comparable to hold.earth on the verified-afforestation-with-reporting axis.
• TreeApp: Corporate tree-planting engagement platform used for team-building and sustainability initiatives. Closely aligned with hold.earth's B2B team-planting offering and climate-credential narrative.
• Pachama: Marketplace and project developer for nature-based carbon credits, including reforestation. Comparable in the monetization of verified afforestation projects for corporate climate buyers.

Regional players

• Reforest Action: French organization running corporate-sponsored reforestation programs across Europe. Comparable service offering and corporate-engagement model, but operating primarily in France and other Western European geographies.
• Trees for All: Dutch foundation that organizes corporate tree-planting partnerships and certified reforestation projects. Comparable in combining corporate partnerships with verified afforestation, though focused on the Benelux market.

Emerging players

• Climate Impact X: Carbon exchange and project-development platform focused on high-quality nature-based credits. Comparable in enabling corporate buyers to access verified afforestation and nature-based carbon.
