NOTTS SPORT PLEDGES TO CONTRIBUTE TO GLOBAL REFORESTATION EFFORTS
We are proud to be working with Tree-Nation, a global platform dedicated to reforestation. Through this association, we will be planting trees to help reduce our carbon footprint.
As part of this commitment, we have pledged to plant one tree per 100 sqm of surfacing provided in that month to create 'The Forest of Notts Sport'.
"We believe in taking meaningful steps to protect our planet," said Duncan Bennett, CEO, "By planting trees, we are not only offsetting our carbon emissions but also contributing to the restoration of important ecosystems."
Tree-Nation's platform facilitates the planting of trees across continents, from Africa to South America. Each tree planted through the platform is verified, and the company provides regular updates on the progress of each reforestation project.
As a company committed to reducing its environmental impact, we are continuously exploring new ways to integrate sustainability. This exciting initiative underscores our dedication to achieving our climate goals and supporting efforts to create a greener, more sustainable future for all.
To date we are proud to have donated 378 trees to projects around the world, this number of trees absorb approximately 15.58 tonnes of CO2 during their lifetime.
