As you may know by now, WestWon’s green scheme of planting trees has been running smoothly for the past 4 months! We are so very proud of how far we have come with this initiative. This includes the impact we have made. Below is an update of the WestWon Woodland initiative (in case you missed it) as well as those all important numbers.
A quick recap
At the end of 2021, we teamed up with Ecologi, a UK based social enterprise. They are a company that helps plant trees in the UK and abroad. It works by us sending them the amount of trees we wish to plant. We then hand over payment them and they essentially do the work for us! Ecologi are an amazing company in the way that they work. They allow us as well as our customers to see the species of tree that has been planted, its age and the project it was funded for (e.g. the place they were planted).
So, how does WestWon contribute, and why should we have you to thank? Well, when you complete a lease agreement with us we will plant a tree for every month of the lease term in the WestWon Woodland. This part of the scheme started at the beginning of the year. We are also sending out certificates to those who have taken part, as well as an extra chance to plant 10 more trees in the woodland if it’s reposted. All these chances are just extra ways that you can help us in staying as a climate positive company. As well as aiding the environment in its battle against climate change.
