At Putnams we are actively trying to reduce our carbon footprint as well as reduce the amount of plastic we use in our factory and in our packaging. Nobody is perfect, we are still working to improve many aspects of our business. One thing we want to commit to is planting trees with our customers which is why we have teamed up with Tree Nation.
We have so far planted 2499 trees. Equivalent CO2 capture to:
- 8,206,013 smartphones charged or
- 8.1 homes energy for one year or
- 169,540 miles driven by the average car
If you place an order over £60 we will plant a tree. We have also now added free tree planting for our customers when they review us via Yotpo. This means if you purchase a product with us you can potentially plant two trees for free. Trees will be planted in batches.
The trees planted help with:
- Reforestation
- CO2 sequestration
- Biodiversity
- Relieving Poverty
- Fighting desertification
- Social Inclusion
Trees will be planted randomly at the below projects, follow the links for more information on each one.
