Golden Acre aims to be at least carbon neutral by 2025 and is actively working on ways to achieve this, including reducing emissions and offsetting carbon. We’ll be increasingly working with our partners and consumers to protect the world we live in.
We’re proud to have commissioned a Golden Acre of new trees in Langley Vale in partnership with the Woodland Trust as part of our wider carbon offset policy, and we hope to launch more Golden Acres in the coming year.
Woods and trees are home to more wildlife than any other landscape, providing homes, habitats and food supplies for thousands of different species including our most loved animals.
With declining populations of woodland birds, the protection of woodland habitats is more important than ever, from the lush canopy to the leaf litter below.
