Keener on going greener
We’ve been aggressively reducing our impact on the environment and our carbon footprint for several years.
From state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment to a large renewable energy biomass boiler, we’ve ensured that new facilities are built to highly efficient standards. We’ve upgraded to LED lighting and worked to put an end to use of unnecessary plastics and tape.
Carbon offsetting has helped to accelerate our positive impact. We’ve been carbon neutral since 2020, offsetting unavoidable emissions by working with the World Land Trust to help protect more than 184 acres of critically endangered rainforest. We’re now taking this another step further, with an initiative much closer to home.
Back to our roots
Fifteen years ago, Nick Linney planted a sapling cloned from Nottinghamshire’s famous Major Oak, with a donation of £1,000 to the Sherwood Forest Trust to help restore and manage an acre of land, to support local wildlife and for people to enjoy.
Working in partnership with the Trust, Linney pledged to plant more than 25,000 trees in Sherwood Forest. Nick and Miles Linney launched the initiative by planting another oak tree, this time near the main entrance to the Create building.
The plaque reads “The first of many” – a clear statement of intent for an ambitious project we can all be immensely proud of.
Ultimately, this project will benefit future generations. And it’s because of them that our commitment to the environment and our local community remains as mighty and deeply rooted as ever.
