Businesses and brands purchase uon to give to their employees and customers as a purpose-driven reward. Consumers then collect the uon on their account.

What is the business model of EarthToday?

EarthToday sells uon for €1.20 per uon including VAT*. A uon is a digital proof of protection of a geocoded m² of nature, registered in your name. €1.00 out of every €1.20 that comes in goes directly to nature protection organizations. The rest is used for the global roll-out of EarthToday, and VAT.

A zero-dividend and reinvestment policy ensures that any future profit will solely benefit the purpose. Nothing out of the uon sales revenue ends up with investors. Ever. EarthToday operates 100% for-purpose.

How do we handle donations?

* The €1.20 consists of €0.20 for a uon, including any applicable taxes, and a €1.00 donation to designated charities on top.

UON members

The members of the EarthToday community deliberately choose to protect nature by collecting uon, including the donation to the group of UON members with every uon they purchase.

The distribution key for dividing the designated donations among the UON members in the group is based on their ‘individual continuous days in program’ relative to their ‘collective continuous days in program’ with the UON, to incentivize early adoption. The UON member in its beneficiary-role can use a donation to them at their own discretion.
