Sustainable paper saves forests

Paper policy saves trees

At Homes in Sedgemoor, we are proud of our green credentials and work hard to ensure that our impact on the environment is as light as possible.

Ollie Hulme from Homes in Sedgemoor said: 

“We are strongly invested in taking part in green initiatives surrounding our properties. This can be from fitting insulation to installing ground source heat pumps. And we try to take things further and have as low an environmental impact as we can, even down to the paper we use. We use Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) sustainable paper through our printer We Are Resource for our documents, newsletters and posters. By using this sustainable paper we are helping protect tropical forests.”

rust and uses FSC sustainable papers, as part of a commitment to being as green as possible.

We Are Resource also has processes in place around efficiencies to reduce its carbon footprint as well as initiatives to help us become more sustainable. For all its projects, the organisation uses FSC papers, and carbon that can’t be mitigated from production is offset through the World Land Trust (WLT) to protect tropical forests by paying a surcharge to the WLT can spend on protecting the wild environment.

We Are Resource doesn’t pass any of the surcharges on to its customers. The initiative is a scheme it has embraced as an organisation as part of its commitment to sustainability.
