We plant two native trees for every job we do.
In an ideal world, all of our products and projects would have 0% carbon footprint – or even better, they would help to sequester carbon. But we’re not quite there yet, so we plant at two native trees for every job we do through the Carbon Neutral Plant-A-Tree Program.
As well as helping to reduce CO2, these trees combat soil erosion and salinity, act as wind breaks, improve biodiversity, and provide homes for native plants and animals. The trees are planted on unproductive, degraded farmland with the aim of returning the land to its original condition and restoring the precious ecosystems within it.
The trees are protected for 100 years by a carbon covenant and carbon right registered with the state government on the land title. This ensures the trees cannot be removed or compromised, even if the land is sold.
The carbon offset projects we invest in are Gold Standard Certified, which ensures they follow best practice, involve local stakeholders, continually reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve both the lives of people and the environment.
