Our story | Treely

Every step tells a story

We’re Julien, Karim, and Cédric, and this is us celebrating our 40s with our childhood friends 👇

It all started on a basketball court in our small village at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain - a place where life is simple, and helping each other just comes naturally.

Then life happened. We each went our separate ways.

Fast forward 20 years. After busy careers and life-changing experiences, we reconnected.

Why? Because certain events shook us to our core.

In Australia, where I have lived for years, the 2019-20 bushfires devastated the country. A red sky, falling ash—it was a wake-up call. A moment of realisation: we must do more to protect the planet.

So I reached out to Cédric with a simple idea: what if we could turn footsteps into trees?

At the time, Cédric was stuck in lockdown, struggling with the isolation and remote work. For someone who thrives on human connection, it was tough - mentally and physically.

The idea clicked. And we jumped in. Shortly after, Julien, another childhood friend, joined the adventure.

Those moments of reflection led us to the same conclusion:

it is time to get back to what really matters and bring purpose into our everyday work.

What about you?

If you’ve ever felt that disconnect - the gap between your values, your work, and what actually motivates you - you’re not alone.

We know the stats:

60% of employees feel disconnected from their company (Gallup, 2023).
Many are just going through the motions, leading to quiet quitting—physically present, but mentally checked out.

We’ve seen the usual corporate solutions: webinars, wellness workshops, fun activities like laser tag. Let’s be real—none of that actually changes things.

Our mission

To bring back motivation, engagement, and the joy of working together.

Because we believe in the power of teams.

When people feel connected, everything changes—energy, efficiency, culture, and impact.

Our solution

Treely is our way of making that happen - through real, tangible experiences.

We create collaborative challenges that combine simplicity and impact: walking together, planting trees, and, most importantly, creating meaningful experiences.

No fluff. No gimmicks. Just an experience that brings teams closer.

Because every step matters - literally and figuratively. We help companies turn their daily routines into something meaningful - for their teams and the planet.

Since then, Tanguy, Fanny, and Cléolia have joined the adventure. Together, we’ve planted over 350,000 trees 🌱

So… ready to take the first step?
