Grow My Tree Partnership

MRP partnership with GROW MY TREE

We are proud to share our latest and very exciting news with you.

Sustainability has always been at the very heart of what we do here at MRP, we are on a mission to help fight climate change which is why we are very proud to be partnering with GROW MY TREE!

We have already planted 4,000 trees – neutralising a massive 88,000 CO2! For every order you place with us (no matter how big or small), we will plant a tree just for you. Our aim is to plant at least a further 4,000 trees this year.

GROW MY TREE works with countries in the Global South to plant trees where the environmental, social and economic leverage is greatest – ensuring all plantings are fair, sustainable and certified. Only trees native to that area with high survival rates are planted to protect the local flora and fauna – this also helps guarantee the long-term survival of the trees. Every tree is certified for full traceability.

The trees are planted in collaboration with local farmers, this generates income and supports local communities. Cultural traditions and the needs of the local communities are strictly taken into account, along with high ethical standards and fair wages.

With your help, we would like to plant as many trees as possible and we would like to thank you for helping us achieve what we have so far!

As these trees are planted from your orders, we can send you a personalised certificate for the number of trees you have helped plant over the last year, as well as future orders going forward.

If you would like to find out more about buying or gifting trees please feel free to contact us or see www.growmytree.com
