SPAR UK is supporting its 90th anniversary celebrations by giving back to communities and planting 12,500 trees all over England with leading organisation One Tree Planted.
The leading symbol group has partnered with One Tree Planted to create a campaign that involves different Spar organisations from countries across the globe.
Funds raised are going towards the planting of trees, with the aim to raise as much as possible to “uplift local communities,” reduce environmental impact and help to build a sustainable future, the company said.
Spar UK planted sixty-six varieties of trees and plants including Elder, Monterey Pine, Apple, and Juniper between January and June this year.
The planting was spread out across England in micro-scale projects collaborating with the local communities and forests. Some of the forests included in the project are situated in Cumbria, Merseyside, and Devon, among many other areas in the UK.
“We are delighted to be able to celebrate our international brand’s 90th anniversary with such a worthwhile project,” UK brand and marketing director, Suzanne Dover said.
She added: “Being at the heart of neighbourhoods, by protecting the environment for future generations to come, is central to who we are.
“The symbol of a tree is part of our global identity, and planting trees is hugely valuable in producing oxygen, supplying homes for wildlife as well as looking good in our landscape.
“SPAR One Tree Planted campaign is a fantastic way for us to contribute to increasing the tree cover across England.” she added.”
