At Pirongs, we’re committed to taking meaningful action for the environment. That’s why we’ve partnered with the Woodland Trust through their Woodland Carbon scheme, a powerful initiative to address carbon emissions while supporting nature’s recovery.

Between October and December 2024, our support contributed to planting 17.00m² of native UK woodland, removing 510kg of carbon monoxide from the atmosphere. This is just the beginning of our journey toward a greener, more sustainable future.

What is Woodland Carbon?

Woodland Carbon is a scheme designed to help organisations like ours address their carbon footprint by planting trees that lock up unavoidable carbon emissions over time. This innovative program not only reduces environmental impact but also supports the recovery of nature, creating lasting benefits for wildlife, ecosystems, and society.

Here’s what makes the Woodland Carbon scheme unique:

• Sustainable Woodlands:
  Every tree planted is a UK native species, chosen for its ecological value and ability to thrive in its environment. This ensures that the woodlands created are beneficial for both wildlife and biodiversity, while also storing carbon effectively.
• Nature-Centric Approach:
  Woodland Carbon focuses on the idea that trees are more than just carbon absorbers—they’re a cornerstone of healthy ecosystems. By prioritising conservation principles, the Woodland Trust ensures that tree planting is about restoring habitats and protecting landscapes for the long term.
• Certified and Transparent:
  The scheme is governed by the Woodland Carbon Code, the UK’s standard for woodland creation projects. This guarantees that every carbon unit represents a genuine and measurable environmental benefit, giving you the reassurance of a nature-friendly and transparent solution.

Why It Matters

By participating in the Woodland Carbon scheme, we’re contributing to:

• Locking Up Carbon:
  The trees planted through this program gradually absorb carbon dioxide over time, directly reducing the environmental impact of unavoidable emissions.
• Restoring Ecosystems:
  These woodlands provide vital habitats for wildlife, support biodiversity, and contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.
• Achieving Sustainability Goals:
  With our contributions registered under the Woodland Carbon Code, we’re taking real, tangible steps toward meeting our sustainability commitments.

A Partnership That Inspires Action

Our collaboration with the Woodland Trust is more than just an environmental initiative—it’s a message to our customers, staff, and community that we’re committed to making a difference. From tree-planting events to ongoing engagement, this partnership offers opportunities for everyone to get involved and make a positive impact.

As we look to the future, we’re proud to be part of a program that combines carbon reduction with nature restoration, helping to create a greener, more sustainable world for generations to come.
