Save points with Xtra and do what’s good for the environment
Want to give the environment a helping hand? You can make your contribution while shopping. By choosing a product with Eco-score A or B in the store, you save points in your Xtra app. When you have 100 points you can support an environmental project or follow a sustainable workshop at Colruyt Group Academy.
With this initiative, we want to give you the chance to make an extra, tangible impact with the Eco-score. It allows you to make an eco-conscious choice, while also supporting an ecological project. This way, you do good for the environment twice. Together, we contribute to a more sustainable world, step by step.

How can you use your points for the environment?
With your points, you can support an environmental project. Once you have collected 100 points, you can:
- plant a tree
- sow 1 m² of flower meadow
- create a 1 m² patch of nature
Or do you prefer to learn about sustainable living? You can also use 100 points to attend a workshop at Colruyt Group Academy (workshops in Dutch and French) on sustainability, for example:
- ‘Create a garden full of life’
- ‘Debunking packaging myths’
- ‘Greener on the road’
- ...
How you divide your points is entirely up to you. Easy in the Xtra app.

1. BeeOdiversity: creating plant biodiversity
Plants are important for pollinators, birds and other species. They are in fact an essential part of the local ecosystem and agriculture. BeeOdiversity uses pollen analysis to monitor which places in a municipality have the most potential to do better. There they plant meadow flowers, hedges, trees or small forests in public spaces.
2. GoodPlanet: a flower heart for bees
84% of European agricultural crops depend on pollinating insects. That is why GoodPlanet creates biotopes with the right food for bees and other pollinators. Specifically? Small heart-shaped flower meadows: not only a beautiful symbol, scientifically proven to be the shape with the most attractive nooks and crannies for the greatest variety of pollinators.
3. GoodPlanet: Tiny Forests® for schools and neighbourhoods
A Tiny Forest is a dense native forest the size of a tennis court. The groves not only increase biodiversity in urban environments, but also provide coolness, better air quality, and they retain more rainwater. Insects, birds and other animals feel at home straight away. GoodPlanet works with local residents and schoolchildren to plant Tiny Forests.
4. Bûûmplanters: planting trees in and around Brussels
Supporting organisations from the social, cultural and educational sectors to plant trees, shrubs or plants wherever they can. That is the mission envisioned by Bûûmplanters. They give advice and work with volunteers on location to plant native climbing plants, (fruit) bushes and (fruit) trees.
