Plant a Tree Scheme

At Riasca, we are always looking for ways to offset our carbon footprint and do our bit for the environment, so we have been trialling various initiatives to make sure our operations are as green as they can be.

The concept of Plant a Tree is simple: for every 5 orders placed by Kirklees schools and colleges, Riasca will give you a living tree to plant in the school or college’s grounds.

When you consider that, over its first 40-50 years, one tree will offset about a ton of carbon, you can see the value of this initiative. Of course, planting a tree has added bonuses such as providing habitats for wildlife and offering valuable educational opportunities.

Also, don’t forget that because we are based in Kirklees we are never far away. This means that we don’t need to rack up hundreds of road miles to get to you (not to mention you get your products faster!). To put this into perspective, if your school is based 5 miles away from us, and an average of 12 miles away from our competitors (which is the case for Ashbrow Infant and Nursery School, for example), you could save roughly 200 road miles per year by opting to use us, thereby reducing your carbon footprint. It’s amazing how quickly it adds up!

If you have any questions about Plant a Tree or any of our other environmental initiatives, feel free to give us a call – we’d be delighted to hear from you.
