The Applelec Forest
Alongside planting a tree with every eco signage and lighting order, in 2023 the Applelec team started an internal initiative to use the ECOSIA internet browser to offset the carbon footprint of our delivery van, aiming to plant 288 trees in 2023. The team smashed this target, planting an amazing 424 trees. Add to this our yearly donation to JUST ONE Tree in place of sending a Christmas Card, plus sales of our ECO product range, takes the total number of trees currently in the Applelec forest to an amazing 882! We couldn't be prouder of everyone's efforts, and we look forward to seeing what we can achieve together in 2024.
