Business becomes friend of the forest
August 1st 2010 PHS Direct has embarked on an
exciting new sponsorship with
The National Forest, by helping to
create a particular woodland
within the Forest.As a
responsible business, PHS Direct
is keen to demonstrate its social
responsibility, and wants to work
with the forestry industry who
are key in creating the paper
products that it sells.
The National Forest is a forest
in the making, transforming 200
square miles of central England,
spanning parts of Derbyshire,
Leicestershire and Staffordshire.
Already woodland cover has
been increased from 6% to 18%
since the Forest was established
in the early 1990s.
James Clark, MD of PHS Direct,
explains why this project in
particular:"We wanted to support
a project that will have a positive
that also was able to engage with
our staff, suppliers and customers
in a very real and tangible way.
"The majority of our staff at our
Dordon operational centre live
within 10 miles of the Forest, and
this enables them to really see
the impact of the project, and
allows them to make great use of
the Forest over the years."
PHS Direct will make a
contribution to The National
Forest for every box of paper it
sells, and will result in 5000 trees
being planted every year for at
least three years. More articles from PHS Group plc: |
