Sustainability first
As a carbon neutral business, we have been measuring emissions since 2016, as well as offsetting unavoidable emissions since 2020. A current project includes offering Carbon Balanced Print with verified carbon offsetting through World Land Trust. Through this renowned charity, whose patrons include David Attenborough and Chris Packham, we are helping protect some of the most biologically significant and threatened habitats worldwide.
Our Nottinghamshire reforestation project serves a dual purpose – complementing the company’s current offsetting initiatives and providing a rich habitat for local wildlife and people to enjoy.
The Queen’s Green Canopy
The tree-planting initiative supported carbon sequestration and reforestation in the UK, as well as forming part of the Queen’s Green Canopy project, a call to action for businesses, groups, towns and villages across the UK to plant a tree for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
Our tree planting project
We chose an oak tree as the first of our 25,000 tree-planting commitments. Oak is one of several species found in Nottinghamshire alongside pine, birch, chestnut, and beech.
The region’s connection with the Major Oak, the 1,000-year-old oak tree in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, reputed to have been the hiding place of outlaw Robin Hood, made this an obvious choice for our first tree.
The first 8,500 trees were planted in partnership with the Sherwood Forest Trust. The planting of the next 16,500 trees meant another 10.5 hectares of tree coverage.
