About the Trust
The Sustainability Trust (registered as a charity in England and Wales as The CO2 Offset Trust) has been created and supported by eleven Founding Member Rotary Clubs from five continents.
It is a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteer Rotarians, with all funds and donations being used to further the objects of the Trust.
Funds to create and operate the Trust have been donated by the generosity of the 11 Founding Member Clubs plus the support of sponsors willing to encourage the principles being promoted.
Current Trustees are:
The Trust is registered in England and Wales as The CO2 Offset Trust, registered charity number 1122835. The Sustainability Trust is a UK Registered Company number 6455306.
The Trust encourages all 33,000 Rotary Clubs world-wide to understand and act upon sustainable principles for living on planet Earth. Millions – possibly billions – of people will suffer hardship unless we address the issues surrounding our over-use of natural resources.
The Trust aims to educate members of Rotary Clubs – and through them the general public – to understand and mitigate the effects of climate change and the ways in which we can make our use of natural resources sustainable so as not to affect our planet’s health.
The Trust seeks to be a catalyst that enables Rotarians to share Sustainability principles between Clubs around the world.
The Trust encourages all Rotarians to do four things:
EDUCATE – themselves, their Rotary colleagues and their community about the reasons why we all have to reduce carbon emissions
DEMONSTRATE - how everyone can save money in the process,
INNOVATE - with ideas promoted by their Rotary Club to reduce carbon emissions through the development of appropriate projects.
DONATE - via The Sustainability Trust to a Rotary project that offsets your unavoidable personal carbon emissions.

- Carbon emissions will heat the planet beyond its ability to support the projected 9 billion people.
- Adopting Sustainability Principles will improve efficiency, save money, reduce weather-related hardship and lower the need for extra humanitarian aid caused by Climate Change
- All Rotarians should get involved, understand the issues and, if they agree with us - take action.
- Responsible Rotarians should aim for maximum sustainability in all they do. All Rotary projects should be sustainable.
- Our unavoidable personal carbon emissions should be neutralised by donating to a Rotary Club Climate Change project at
