This week, as part of Inviron’s Sustainability Week, the technical facilities service provider announced their 3 year partnership with Make it Wild. In a bid to plant one tree for every employee by 2025, Inviron has successfully secured a private location which will become their own woodland.
Make it Wild, a family owned business, founded in 2017, gives space back to nature across seven locations. Their conservation activities include planting trees, digging ponds, restoring wild-flower hay meadows and protecting ancient woodland.
Coinciding with National Tree Week, 12 employees used their Inviron Community Day to visit the site this week as they set out to plant 350 trees. This was the first of several planting events which have been agreed upon over the next two years.
This new partnership supports Inviron’s ambitions to drive sustainable initiatives across its business. The private woodland will also provide their clients the opportunity to offset their own carbon emissions.
“When looking for a new partner it was key to choose a business which would allow our employees to visit the site, and have the opportunity to plant trees. After meeting Chris (Make it Wild Co-Founder) several times, I was inspired by his knowledge and passion to support the environment. The team and I had a brilliant time planting the first group of trees. I look forward to the day when we can visit and see that they have significantly grown. We can then look back and feel proud of the woodland which Inviron committed to.” commented Ashleigh Layton, Head of Social Value.
“We’re delighted to be helping Inviron achieve their sustainability objectives. As our tree planting partners they are contributing to making vital, new permanent woodlands for UK wildlife and, at the same time, setting in motion nature’s own solution for mitigating climate change, as their trees will absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow.” commented Christopher Neave, Make it Wild Co-Founder and Director.
