APS joins forces with Woodland Trust to plant 13,000 trees

Last week, we donned our fluffiest jumpers to join Premier Paper and the Woodland Trust on their Carbon Capture tree planting day in Derbyshire.

The Woodland Trust’s Carbon Scheme allows companies to mitigate their carbon emissions by funding tree planting in the UK. The scheme has operated since 2011 and involves businesses paying a carbon capture charge for every tonne of paper bought. The Woodland Trust then uses this money to purchase the woodland as part of its tree planting scheme, securing land for permanent, sustainable woodland. Good news for us, for our clients and, most importantly, for the planet!

In partnership with Premier Paper, we’ve planted more than 260,000 trees under the scheme and captured 52,287 tonnes of carbon – the equivalent to 10.5 billion sheets of A4 paper!

The trees we’ve planted will cleanse and purify our air, create homes for wildlife and help connect society with nature by getting people physically involved in the planting process. Our participation in the scheme has made a real difference to the environment and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

As supporters of the initiative, we’re invited along to an annual tree planting day. It’s a fantastic opportunity to see first-hand the work the scheme does and really get stuck in. Even our clients and partners get involved and this year we were joined by the DVLA.

Joined by TV’s Julia Bradbury and the Outdoor Guide, we met our fellow tree planters at the Woodland Trust’s Heanor site in Derbyshire and were greeted with fresh breakfast sandwiches and hot coffees and teas. After a series of brief introductions, we took to the fields armed with spades, wellies and determination, despite the fresh November air!

The tree planting took place near Heanor in Derbyshire on the site of a former opencast mine, which has now been transformed into a haven for wildlife and people. The Woodland Trust plan to develop the site further, creating the Young People’s Forest – a giant classroom for children and young people aged 10-20; they’ll plant trees, learn about nature as well as design, deliver and take part in activities.

As the day came to an end the final number of trees that had been planted totalled an impressive 13,000. Amongst the saplings that were planted were maple, oak and silver birch, hawthorn and hazel – all of which are broadleaf trees native the UK.

A big thanks to Woodland Trust for having us along – we’ll see you next year!

“The habits of consumers are changing, and so retailers must follow suit,” said Kylie Wilson, Marketing Manager at Livingston Designer Outlet.

“Shopping is now about much more than purchasing products and is instead an all-round leisure experience. With this in mind, we want visitors to feel like guests rather than shoppers providing them with a bespoke, concierge-style service and a memorable experience”

Beyond creating a modern and sophisticated rebrand, APS Group has also been involved with Project Aspire, an employee program which communicates the new brand messaging helping to enhance the organization’s culture. The program provides face-to-face training, online workshops and employee wellbeing plans to support staff through the transition period and beyond.

APS Group created and produced an in-center communications campaign aimed at the Outlet’s guests, highlighting the changes that were underway and what was to be expected once completed.
