2-minute case study: 22% Growth in spite of Corona
How this sushi restaurant did it
Many people confuse “sustainable engagement” with “less profit”. In today’s 2-minute case study we prove that assumption wrong, and showcase how planting trees drives sales and makes you more money.
I Love Sushi is the world’s first sushi restaurant that plants trees.
The Stuttgart-based team created the TreeRoll: A dedicated sushi roll that plants trees. For every TreeRoll sold I Love Sushi plants one tree with Click A Tree. As simple as that.
A brilliant move. People eat sushi and do good. It tastes great and feels even greater. How much better can sustainability get?
Planting trees did not just get I Love Sushi a ton of media attention (both nationally, e.g. by PRINZ or Kessel.tv, as well as internationally, e.g. by MarketingSherpa), but also drove sales.
I Love Sushi increased sales of the TreeRoll by 22% in the past quarter, reports Green Chefs. And that in spite of Corona!
The success doesn’t stop. In total (as of September 2021) I Love Sushi has already sold 1,876 tree rolls and planted 1,876 trees at the same time.
How is that for growth during economically challenging times?

How business owners can do the same
As you guessed correctly, replicating this success is simple. If you’re a bar or a restaurant, create a “climate cocktail”, “tree dish” or “pizza for the planet”, and you’re good to go. We recommend making it a vegetarian or even vegan dish, since many climate-conscious customers prefer to not eat meat.
In case you’re selling any other type of product or service, shoot us an email and we’ll discuss with you how to best green both the planet and your wallet. In our opinion, sustainability only works if it’s beneficial for everyone involved.

That’s also why we make planting trees as simple as clicking your mouse or writing an email.
When partnering with Click A Tree, you simply email us at the end of each quarter how many trees you’d like us to plant.
We then take care of all the heavy lifting, and even create tailor-made marketing material for you in the process. That helps to promote your green engagement and will bring in even more customers, driving even more sales – and hence planting even more trees.
And since we exclusively work with fairly paid full-time workers, you’re not just making your customers happy, earning more money and saving mother Earth, but even create full-time jobs and incomes for people in less privileged regions of our planet.
How good is that?
