On June 8th, we celebrate World Oceans Day—a day to recognize the vital role our oceans play for life on Earth and to inspire action for their protection.

Why not send a ThankU on this special day to show your appreciation and support ocean conservation?

World Oceans Day was first proposed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and has been officially recognized by the United Nations since 2009. Its purpose is to highlight the importance of healthy oceans for our climate, biodiversity, and well-being, and to raise awareness about the threats they face, such as pollution, overfishing, and climate change.

More than 80% of the ocean remains unexplored. Despite covering over 70% of Earth’s surface, the vast majority of the ocean is still a mystery to us, making it one of the least understood places on our planet. The ocean is home to the majority of animal life on Earth. While oceans contain only about 1% of the planet’s total biomass, they are home to around 78% of all animal biomass, making them the largest habitat for animals on Earth.

In the pictures you can see the work of our partner projects:

Let’s use June 8th to say ThankU—for our oceans, for the organizations making a difference, and for every action that helps protect our blue planet.

🌍World Environment Day 2025 – Say Thank You and Make a Difference!🌍

Did you know that World Environment Day was established by the United Nations back in 1972? On June 5th, 1972, the first UN Conference on the Environment opened in Stockholm, aiming to raise global awareness about environmental issues and inspire people to take action.

Since then, June 5th has been celebrated every year as a day to come together and find solutions for our planet’s most urgent environmental challenges.

The next World Environment Day is just around the corner! How can we make this day meaningful and show appreciation at the same time?

That’s where ThankU comes in: A “ThankU” is more than just a thank you – it’s also a small donation to a selected environmental project of your choice. It allows you to thank colleagues, partners, or friends for their commitment while making a real, measurable impact.

Our partner projects include:
🌱 Planting trees with

Why should you send a ThankU on World Environment Day?
Show genuine appreciation and encourage sustainable action within your team or network.

Every ThankU directly supports vetted environmental projects – transparent, nonprofit, and without greenwashing.
Your gratitude becomes visible and inspires others to get involved as well.

Let’s use the upcoming World Environment Day to say thank you and protect our planet together! 💚🌱

🌍Yesterday, on the 22nd of May, was the International Day for Biological Diversity🌎

More than one third (!) of all animal and plant species worldwide are considered endangered. Species extinction is accelerating – and we all share the responsibility to act.

What truly shook our founder Lukasz Belza was a conversation with scientist Friedrich Bohn from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), who told him that the current extinction rate is estimated to be at least 100 times higher than the natural baseline – and likely far more.

🌱 With ThankU, we make it easy for companies to integrate biodiversity protection directly into business processes – automated, transparent, and measurable. So you can start making a real difference with minimal effort.

Through our ThankU API or Shopify app, businesses can protect a few square meters of habitat per product sold, newsletter signed-up, or referral. Every interaction becomes a contribution to real environmental impact.
And our data shows: sustainable incentives like these can significantly increase conversion rates.

🐦 One of our most impactful partnerships is with Jocotoco in Ecuador, where – together with our community – we’ve helped protect over 34 hectares of wildlife habitat.
Special recognition goes to Dr. Martin Schaefer biologist and CEO of Jocotoco, and his dedicated team. Their daily work offers real hope for endangered species like the Blue-throated Hillstar and the Spectacled Bear.

💚 Our vision: By enabling scalable solutions, we empower businesses to turn many small contributions into something truly big – for biodiversity, climate resilience, and thriving ecosystems worldwide.

👉 Want to join us? Reach out here on LinkedIn or via DM – and bring measurable, sustainable impact into your business.

🐝World Bee Day – Appreciation that connects!🐝

Today, on May 20th, we celebrate bees – small helpers with a big impact. They teach us how important collaboration, hard work, and mutual support are to achieve great things together.

Because showing gratitude is like pollination: it helps relationships grow, strengthens teams, and builds trust – both in business and everyday life. With ThankU, you can say “thank you” easily, sustainably, and digitally.

Why ThankU on World Bee Day?
- Bees show us the power of appreciation and teamwork.
- ThankU makes gratitude visible and strengthens sustainable relationships.
- Every thank you supports environmental projects and promotes responsible action.

Together, we combine appreciation with responsibility – for people and nature.
Celebrate World Bee Day by actively living gratitude – with ThankU as your partner for sustainable appreciation.

Let’s grow together – just like bees in a hive!

✔️ Personal and heartfelt with a loving message

✔️ A gift that lasts longer than traditional Mother’s Day presents

And if you have mothers in your company, a ThankU is also a wonderful way to show appreciation – simple, digital, and meaningful.

April 22nd marks Earth Day – a global event celebrated since 1970 in over 175 countries to raise awareness about environmental protection and to inspire a sustainable lifestyle.

On Earth Day, it’s important not only to talk about sustainability but also to take meaningful action.

🌱 Trees planted

Easy to integrate – via the ThankU API or the ThankU Shopify App.

✅ Seven Clean Seas (Ocean plastic cleanup)

🌍 Sustainability as a Marketing Strategy: Building Customer Loyalty with Real Impact 🚀

The advertising industry is evolving. Today’s consumers expect more than empty sustainability promises—they demand real, measurable impact. That’s where ThankU comes in: With our ThankU API, businesses can seamlessly integrate credible environmental impact into their digital marketing and loyalty campaigns. The result? Better performance and a deeper emotional connection to the brand.

How does it work?
Our technology makes green marketing both authentic and scalable:
✅ Every ad click helps protect wildlife habitats.
✅ Every newsletter sign-up reduces ocean plastic.
✅ Every referral leads to new trees being planted.
✅ Every loyalty point can be invested in environmental projects.
Impact as an incentive not only drives better performance—it resonates on an emotional level. Brands that take responsibility don’t just attract new customers—they build real loyalty.

👉 Case Study: Benefits.me
By integrating the ThankU API, our partner benefits me increased its referral sign-ups by 4X—because sustainable impact is a real motivator. At the same time, over 810 tons of CO₂ have already been offset. A big thank you to Jascha Sombrutzki and the entire Benefits.me team for this groundbreaking campaign!

💡 The future of marketing isn’t about short-term consumer incentives—it’s about real responsibility and emotional brand engagement.
Brands that want to make a lasting impact shouldn’t just talk about sustainability—they should take action.

🐼 Great news for our planet: The Giant Panda is no longer endangered! 🐼
Thanks to decades of conservation efforts and international collaboration, the population of this iconic species has stabilized. This is a powerful example of how collective action can lead to a lasting positive change.

But how can we contribute to protecting the environment in our daily lives? Each of us has the power to make a difference – whether through small lifestyle changes or by supporting initiatives that focus on environmental protection.

🌟 A great and simple way to create a positive impact is by using the ThankU platform. With ThankU, you can show gratitude while supporting meaningful causes – from cleaning the ocean from plastic to tree planting. Although our projects do not directly support the giant panda, they do help to protect other rare and magnificent creatures like the Jaguar, the Brillenbär, and the Harpy Eagle. Every ThankU sent contributes directly to real-world environmental projects.

Let’s turn small gestures into big changes together! 🌱💚

Plastic pollution in our oceans is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time🌍 🌊

When our founder .belza visited the ThankU partner project in Indonesia last December, where they remove plastic from the ocean, he was once again reminded of how crucial it is to take action. He shared his impressions with our ThankU ambassador Gero Hesse via email while he was still in Indonesia – and his immediate reaction? “This topic is so important – let’s do a podcast about it!” 🎙️
Said and done! On the evening of December 23, while Lukasz was still in Asia, they recorded an episode of the SAATKORN podcast.

While the podcast typically provides valuable insights on New Work, recruiting, and retention, this episode focuses on the current state of ocean pollution, the impressive work of Seven Clean Seas and its founder Tom Peacock-Nazil, as well as the role of businesses in tackling this critical issue.
Companies have the opportunity to connect environmental protection with genuine employee appreciation through ThankU. By supporting impactful projects like Seven Clean Seas, they can strengthen both employee engagement and retention—creating a win-win-win situation for employees, businesses, and our planet. 💙✨
Thank you, Gero, for giving this important topic a platform on your podcast! You’ll find the link to the episode in the first comment. 👇
