CLIMATE POSITIVE WORKFORCE

We haven't wanted to stop there though. We decided to extend our partnership with Ecologi further, and are pleased to announce that we are now a Climate Positive Workforce This means that, as a team, we offset more carbon emissions than we collectively emit.

This will see the business contributing to a variety of projects that meet 15 of the 17 United Nations Sustainability Development Goals. The projects are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we all face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. Some of these projects include:

• Senegal – reforesting degraded land

• Morocco – saving diverse genetic specialist tree species

• Uganda – reforesting degraded land through Bristol-based environmental services company, Ecologi. Planting trees is proven to be one of the most effective tools to tackle the climate crisis, reportedly helping to undo over 30 years of carbon damage and keeping temperatures from rising above 1.5°C. Croxsons currently sits in the top 50 of Ecologi’s tree planting leaderboard for businesses.

• Mozambique – mangrove restoration and reforestation.

• Kenya – forest restoration

• Ethiopia – reforesting degraded land

• Amazon – conserving the rainforest

• Brazil – a methane capture programme from landfill and converting it into electricity (methane is 34 times worse than CO2)

For us, many of the projects we get involved in are not just about reducing carbon, they are also about helping communities and improving lives - this is key and something that we feel very strongly about.
