100% for the planet.
All profit from subscriptions is directed towards reducing climate change.

We started Lend Engine to help more organisations lend more items, with the goal of more people borrowing things. Fewer people buying new things means less resources wasted in over-consumption, and less waste.

We're now taking that a step further, by directing all of our profits towards initiatives that combat climate change.   Learn more
