NEXT STEPS FOR CLIMATE AND BIODIVERSITY ACTION

Whilst our top priority is to EMIT LESS, we know we must also do more, to STORE CARBON and RESCUE BIODIVERSITY. But how?

By supporting projects which lock up carbon, protect habitat, and enhance biodiversity. One such project, The Great Reserve, aims to preserve the planet’s largest and potentially most powerful carbon capture tree: the Giant Sequoia. Their mission? To create a UK forest network of 100,000 Giant Sequoias. Primarily, to protect a species at risk. But also, to enhance biodiversity through planting three natives for every Sequoia. This is positive climate and biodiversity action. Sleeves rolled up, we are excited to be supporting such projects in a tangible and practical way.

And, because we want to address carbon from our operations and home deliveries, we will also keep investing in the Voluntary Carbon Market. Because we want to help drive demand for projects which (thanks to carbon finance) are contributing to solving the problem. And because the climate crisis demands that businesses make full use of every took at their disposal, imperfect as they may be.

Job done? Of course not! But hopefully this will inspire Climate Action elsewhere. Particularly in our supply chain, where the greatest opportunities for improvements are located. And, as we make progress towards our 2030 targets, we'll reduce the need to offset. In the meantime, let's do whatever we can to keep climate chaos at bay. And, whilst having some fun, let's tackle the very serious task of saving the planet's largest trees.
