What Sázíme stromy does

Sázíme stromy, z.ú. is a Czech nonprofit organization (registered institute) founded in 2014 and headquartered in Prague, with operations spanning all 14 administrative regions of the Czech Republic through a network of 50+ regional coordinators. The organization plans and executes tree and shrub planting campaigns, having planted 38,922 trees and 41,168 bushes across 1,597 plantings with the help of 35,692 volunteers to date. Its core service lines are: (1) corporate teambuilding events combining planting or post-planting care with professional coordination and optional CO2 offset certificates; (2) municipal planting support, including planting plans, landscape architect consultation, tree and material procurement, volunteer mobilization, and post-planting care guidance; and (3) individual/gift tree, bush, and shrub donations with optional GPS coordinate and photo delivery.

The organization operates a proprietary internal information management system called "stromis" used for nationwide context sharing and quality control, supports a three-year post-planting monitoring protocol (with formal control checks at least two years after planting), and has codified "Sázíme stromy Standards" and an "Almanach koordinátora" to ensure execution consistency across regions. In 2021 it co-developed the OFFSETUJEME CO2 program with CI2, o.p.s., endorsed by the Czech Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which converts tree planting into a regulated, tax-deductible carbon offset.

Commercially, Sázíme stromy monetizes across four streams: per-unit tree and bush donations (300 CZK for shrubs; 2,000 CZK for fruit trees 1.5–2.5m; 2,900 CZK for deciduous trees 2.5–3.5m), corporate teambuilding and CO2 offset engagements, individual financial donations, and annual memberships in the Klub zapojených obcí (Club of Involved Municipalities). It reports cost discipline of 73% to plantings and operations, 19% to organizational operations, and 8% to development, and disclosed crossing 10 million CZK in annual revenue for the first time in 2023. It is not a VAT payer and holds memberships in 1% For The Planet and the Slušná firma community.

Direct peers

• Ecosia: German search engine that uses ad revenue to plant trees globally. Comparable mission and corporate sustainability positioning; competes for the same ESG-conscious corporate and individual donor attention as Sázíme stromy.
• Plant-for-the-Planet: German-founded global youth-led tree-planting organization with corporate donor and ambassador network. Most directly comparable European peer to Sázíme stromy in mission, structure, and corporate partnership approach.
• One Tree Planted: US-headquartered nonprofit that organizes tree planting worldwide, with a strong corporate partnership model (1-for-1 donations, employee engagement events, reforestation projects). Directly comparable to Sázíme stromy in mission and donor structure, but operates globally rather than in a single country.
• Eden Reforestation Projects: Global nonprofit reforestation organization that employs local communities to plant trees at scale. Shares Sázíme stromy's volunteer-driven planting model and emphasis on long-term project monitoring; operates in multiple countries rather than a single national market.
• Trees for the Future: US-based nonprofit focused on planting trees to restore land and provide sustainable incomes for farmers. Comparable nonprofit tree-planting model with corporate and individual donor streams and outcome-based monitoring, similar to Sázíme stromy.
• Treeapp: Mobile/web platform that lets individuals and companies fund tree planting via subscriptions and B2B licenses. Directly comparable to Sázíme stromy on the corporate tree-planting / digital donation model, but with a tech-led self-serve experience Sázíme stromy lacks.

Others

• CI2, o.p.s. Czech CO2 methodology partner that co-delivers the OFFSETUJEME CO2 program with Sázíme stromy. Enables Sázíme stromy's government-endorsed offset product; a key ecosystem enabler rather than direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Arbor Day Foundation: Largest tree-planting membership nonprofit in the United States, founded 1972. A broad incumbent with national-scale operations, tree distribution programs, and corporate partnerships — overlaps with Sázíme stromy on planting and donor engagement but operates at much larger scale and broader portfolio.

Regional players

• Nadace Partnerství: Czech environmental foundation active in community greening and the joint "Sázíme budoucnost" movement with Sázíme stromy. Operates in the same Czech market with overlapping municipal and community-planting objectives, but functions as a grantmaker rather than direct planting service.
• Hnutí DUHA (Friends of the Earth Czech Republic): Major Czech environmental NGO focused on forests, climate, and advocacy. Operates in the same Czech market and competes for the same corporate CSR and foundation funding pool as Sázíme stromy, though its work is more advocacy-led than service-delivery.
