Our Story

Founded by eco-conscious entrepreneurs Nick Falkowski and Richard West, Meaningful Planet was born out of a shared passion for protecting nature and empowering others to do the same. With backgrounds in tech, product development, and business services ,and a shared passion for the natural world, they set out to create a new kind of company - one that turns everyday telecoms services into drivers of positive change and climate impact.

Why We Started

In a world where many feel powerless about environmental challenges, we saw an opportunity for change. We believed that by reimagining telecoms services to have positive impact at their core, we could create a way for people and businesses to make a meaningful impact without extra effort or cost.

It started with a simple question: what if every phone call could help restore nature?

Our Impact Approach

We partner with Wildlife Trusts across the UK to ensure every pound makes maximum impact. From restoring seagrass meadows to reintroducing native species, we're creating lasting change through everyday services. Working with expert, accredited partners, and empowering them with our proprietary technology maximizes this impact, ensuring effectiveness and transparency on every project we support.

Co-founder & CEO

I'm Nick, and I was driven to start Meaningful Planet with Richard by our shared concern for the future of the planet, and a desire to make a tangible positive difference to the environment and the natural world around us.

I have over a decade of experience in technology and product development leadership roles from a range of industries encompassing utilities, education and professional learning, and online consumer trust and experience.

My family and I call the Isle of Wight home, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to live amidst truly beautiful countryside, and to be able to do my bit to help protect and nurture it.
