Tree Planting - Sofology

It’s true that our mission at Sofology is to help people feel at home on a sofa they love - but this is just a small part of a bigger picture. Climate change is a very real concern for everyone who lives on this planet and, as a responsible retailer, we’re dedicated to taking every possible step to reduce the environmental impact of our business. We pledge to regenerate resources, all whilst continuing to help you feel at home.

Every order plants a tree

In partnership with the Woodland Trust we will plant a tree for every order we receive. We couldn’t ask for a better partner than the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity to help us on our journey towards mitigating our carbon emissions.

Planting trees is one of the best ways to tackle our climate crisis. To be carbon neutral by 2050, the UK needs 1.5 billion new trees (that’s 50 million trees a year!). PlanTree can help us to make a real difference, supporting the Woodland Trust in their efforts to restore our native woodlands and protect wildlife habitats.

Thanks to all our customers, 2020 sees us committed to planting enough trees to create 68 hectares of woodland. This tree planting is equivalent to 68 international rugby pitches and will provide homes for millions of fungi, thousands of moths, and a multitude of birds and small mammals. This volume of trees has the potential to remove around 25,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide over their lifetime. Taking care of the environment - this home to all of us - is a passion shared by our colleagues and customers and we continue to look at ways to minimise our impact on the world around us.

It all started with Green Friday

We always make sure that our prices are fair, so, whatever time of year you shop you’ll get the best price we can offer. That’s why, in 2019, we first decided to turn Black Friday green and celebrate with a deal that would benefit the whole planet. We decided to plant a tree for every sofa order we received on Green Friday - and planted almost 2 hectares of new woodland, thanks to our customers! The success led to a permanent reforestation initiative with the Woodland Trust and PlanTree was created.

PlanTree in action

Our PlanTree initiative will fund the planting of thousands of trees through the Woodland Trust’s funded tree pack scheme, enabling schools and communities who are passionate about creating and restoring woodlands to plant trees. In 2020, the Woodland Trust’s aim is to provide one million trees to schools and communities so now more than ever they can enjoy the benefits of planting trees. This number of trees has the potential to lock up 198,000 tonnes of carbon over their lifetime and with the average person responsible for 5.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year, the need is greater than ever.

Not only do trees play an important part in tackling the climate crisis, but during 2020, the natural world has provided a place of sanctuary and wellbeing for many. Nature is good for all of us and at Sofology, we’re proud to support an initiative that encourages and creates green spaces for the benefit of communities and wildlife.

We’re offsetting our carbon emissions

Our tree planting ambitions don’t stop with PlanTree. As part of our commitment to becoming a carbon neutral operation we are also investing in natural climate solutions. Through the Woodland Trust’s Carbon scheme we will plant over 17,500 trees in the UK this year, which will offset the equivalent of our carbon emissions by the end of 2020.
