Woodland Trust is Further Supported By Premier Paper Group

The Premier Paper Group has made its mark to become more environmentally responsible. For that the merchant is organizing a planting day in which it will plant 1000 trees each year with their five years associations with The Woodland Trust. This has been a great notion that a paper manufacturing company is participating in planting activities.

The latest planting day is in progress in Heartwood Forest for the 3rd consecutive year.

Premier Paper Group marketing director, Dave Jones, says: “Our Carbon Capture programme has gone from strength-to-strength over the last five years with over 380 customers now fully engaged with the scheme, with 100 percent of the revenue raised from the Carbon Capture programme going directly to the Woodland Trust, making a real contribution to the creation of new native woodland across the UK.
“The success of Carbon Capture is that it is a great way for organizations to demonstrate their environmental values to their stakeholders.

“The programme provides support with marketing communication material, certificates from the Woodland Trust detailing the amount of CO2 captured and the opportunity for organizations to invite their customers and stakeholders to come and take part in tree planting days.

“Woodland creation in the UK not only locks up CO2 but creates important habitats for wildlife and green spaces for local communities.”

The companies which are working in association with Woodland Trust are contributing a great deal to the society. Planting activities are very much helpful for environment sustainability. Within printing industry and paper manufacturing, planting activities have even more importance.

Woodland Trust promotes such activities in order to provide safeguard to natural environment. Moreover, such activities propel other manufacturers to take part in planting activities and also help create awareness in public. Plants do capture carbon dioxide and minimize its intensity in the environment.
