More than half a million trees have been planted thanks to funding from Premier’s Carbon Capture initiative
More than half a million trees have been planted across the UK thanks to funding from Premier’s Carbon Capture environmental programme.
The paper and packaging supplier has donated £2 million to the Woodland Trust since 2011 as the company champions its customers to make meaningful contributions to carbon reduction.
The money has gone to help plant 519,132 trees across the country, which have the potential to capture around 119,869 tonnes of carbon dioxide over their lifetime.
Dave Jones, group marketing director said: “We’re incredibly proud of reaching this £2 million milestone.
“Through our partnership with the Woodland Trust, we’re supporting businesses to expand their environmental efforts in ways that are meaningful, accountable, and beneficial to the broader environment.”
Premier’s Carbon Capture initiative provides customers with a way to track their environmental impact by calculating their CO2 emissions from product purchases.
It surpassed £1 million in contributions by 2019, with the initiative celebrating reaching its new milestone of £2 million this year.
All funds are directed solely to the Woodland Trust to fuel reforestation efforts across the UK.
Mr Jones said: “: “Knowing that it has helped both businesses and our woodlands is incredibly rewarding.
“We’re grateful to work alongside our customers who share our dedication to sustainability, and we look forward to the impact we will continue to make together.”
