Businesses have the power to create meaningful environmental change.
That’s why we are proud to celebrate our partnership with Gait and Motion Clinics, who have been integrating tree planting into their operations for over a year!
Since January 1st, 2024, every pair of Phits 3D Printed Orthoses ordered through Gait and Motion Clinics has resulted in a tree being planted.
This initiative is not just about compensating carbon, it is about actively restoring ecosystems, employing communities, and making sustainability a core part of their business.
Sustainability in Orthoses & Healthcare
The orthotic industry plays a crucial role in keeping people moving, reducing pain, and improving mobility. However, like many industries, it faces sustainability challenges.
Traditional materials and production methods of orthotic devices contribute to carbon emissions, making it essential for companies to take action.
Gait and Motion recognised this responsibility and took proactive steps. Understanding that they could also create a positive impact by giving back to the environment.
Their partnership with Carma has allowed them to offset their impact by planting trees in multiple countries worldwide.
These projects have helped in restoring vital ecosystems and creating employment for local communities.
Over 10,000 Trees Planted & Counting
Since launching the initiative, Gait and Motion Clinics have planted over 10,000 trees, which is a milestone that highlights the power of consistent, purpose-driven action.
Mangrove trees have dense root systems that act as natural flood defences, reduce erosion, and provide vital habitats for marine life, supporting biodiversity and local fisheries. Beyond their environmental benefits, mangroves also create sustainable livelihoods, strengthening economies and empowering coastal communities. On top of all of that, the mangroves store carbon, combating climate change.
Aligning Purpose with Brand Growth
Gait and Motion Clinics commitment to sustainability does more than just benefit the planet—it strengthens their brand and builds trust with customers. Consumers and businesses alike are increasingly choosing to support companies that prioritise environmental and social impact.
Through initiatives like this, Gait and Motion Clinics are not only creating a positive environmental impact, but also enhancing their reputation as a forward-thinking, responsible business.
Sustainability is no longer considered as a luxury, it is a must-have, and they are leading the way in the orthotics industry. Even their Phits orthotics are manufactured using 100% recycled materials, and 100% of their manufacturing is powered by green energy.
Sustainability in Healthcare
Gait and Motion Clinics are a powerhouse of their industry, supporting individuals in all walks of life, including athletes on their road to the Olympics and professionals across multiple sports. Their innovative technology has raised the bar in foot and lower limb care, whilst creating a long-term positive impact on the environment; setting an example for the entire sector.
What is Next for Gait and Motion Clinics?
This is just the beginning. Gait and Motion Clinics sustainability journey doesn’t stop at 10,000 trees, and neither does ours.
