Leaving our customers feeling at home on a sofa they love shouldn’t come at the expense of the environment. Which is why we act to continually reduce our impact — from design to manufacture to delivery. As part of that commitment, we’re proud to have been planting trees in partnership with the Woodland Trust, helping to protect and restore the natural world for generations to come.
Together, We Helped Plant Over 500,000 Trees Across the UK
Thanks to the incredible support of our customers, we were able to plant more than 500,000 trees in partnership with the Woodland Trust over five years. Through this collaboration, we contributed nearly £1 million to vital initiatives like the Free Trees Programme and the Official Woodland Carbon Scheme—helping to create accessible green spaces, restore irreplaceable native woodland, and protect habitats for UK wildlife.
In 2019, we decided to turn Black Friday green, and celebrate a deal for the whole planet by planting trees with every order. We partnered with the Woodland Trust and planted almost 2 hectares of new woodland, thanks to our customers! The success led to a 5 year partnership with the Woodland Trust and PlanTree was created.
Between 2020 and 2022, we supported the planting of over 42,000 trees across the UK through the Woodland Trust’s Official Carbon Scheme. These trees are projected to sequester more than 9,600 tonnes of carbon over their lifetime. Then, through our support of the Woodland Trust’s Free Trees Scheme (which we supported between 2020-2025), we helped provide nearly 485,000 Free Trees for schools and community groups, ensuring that people of all ages had the opportunity to connect with nature and take part in something lasting.
Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, combating the impact of climate change.
In a year, the UK’s existing woodland can lock away 15 million tonnes of CO2.
The average person is responsible for 5.5 tonnes of CO2 per year.
UK woodland stores 213 million tonnes of carbon in living trees.
