Here’s an idea for you. You want your business to be responsible and ethical and do its bit for the planet don’t you. Well, you’re just like us, we want to do our bit as well. So how about we join forces. And we’ll both do our small bit together to help deliver a big change.

You with us so far? Awesome!

We’ve constantly placed sustainability at the centre of our plans for over 13 years. But this next step on our journey, well, we think it’s something you’ll want to get on board with. For us it’s exciting and will further improve our sustainability. For you it could be just the kind of thing you want to see from your suppliers and partners.

Ready? Drum roll……

One UK tree planted for every job you place

We’ve teamed up with Ecologi on a carbon offsetting project that’ll help us and you. From the start of October, for every job our customers (new, you or existing) place with us, we’ll plant a tree with them.

As part of our tree planting partnership, all the trees will be planted in the UK, and they’ll all be saplings. Planting saplings has a really positive impact because as they grow, they take up to three times as much CO2 out of the atmosphere as mature trees.

If you haven’t heard of Ecologi, they’re a rather splendid B Corp certified organisation doing lots of great work providing businesses with impactful solutions on climate action, and we wanted to be involved in what they’re doing.

And what’s fun and exciting is that, as the number of trees we plant grows, you and all our customers will be able to see the impact we’re making together via our Ecologi virtual forest. I know, cool isn’t it?

As a bit of a reminder and a thanks from us, we’ll also be putting this badge on our delivery note for each job to let you know a tree’s been planted when you place a job with us. So look out for it!

Continuing the journey

You’re probably aware we’re based in a building that’s already carbon neutral, we only use vegetable based inks, all our paper’s FSC certified, and we recently picked up an award win for our ESG practices. But by taking this extra step we’re continuing to reduce our environmental footprint and helping to ensure the CO2 we offset together by planting each tree will further outweigh the CO2 emitted for each job.

We’re really fired up by this tree planting partnership and hopefully it’s something you and all our customers think can help you or them on their own sustainability journey.

So, what do you say? Sound like the right thing to do, and the kind of step you want your suppliers and partners to take? We certainly hope so.

Let’s do this!

If you want to find out more, just pick up the phone, fire through an email or pop over to our contact page and quick as the quickest thing in Quicksville on national quick day, we’ll get back to you to arrange a chat where we can answer any questions you might have.
