Nectar360 is to extend its partnership with the Woodland Trust until 2027, allowing customers to support conservation efforts while earning rewards for their everyday shopping.

The extended partnership builds on a successful corporate relationship between Sainsbury’s and the conservation charity, dating back to 2004.

The collaboration has already seen more than 5.1 million trees planted and more than 2,000 acres of woodland protected across the UK.

Under the new agreement, Nectar customers can continue to make a positive environmental impact while collecting points, earning 20 points for every £1 spent on Woodland Trust memberships online.

They can also collect triple points on selected Sainsbury’s products and donate points to fund Woodland Trust initiatives such as wildflower meadows and restoring woodlands. 

Nectar360 director Amir Rasekh said: “The partnership with the Woodland Trust offers customers a simple way to support the environment while earning rewards. As part of Sainsbury’s Plan for Better, the company is committed to protecting and regenerating natural ecosystems and collaborations like this are key to achieving those goals.”

It comes as Sainsbury’s has launched its first airport store at Edinburgh airport, as part of a major revamp to the food, drink and shopping options for passengers.
