Vindis Group has announced a new partnership with Tree-Nation as part of the dealership’s commitment to becoming a sustainable, Net Zero organisation by 2030.
Launching on Earth Day 2022, every new and used vehicle delivered across Vindis Group dealerships will automatically plant a tree in one of the Group’s chosen projects across the globe, including Eden Projects in Madagascar and Nepal, forest conservation projects in France and Thailand and Trees for Tigers in India. #PlantedbyVindis
Each customer will be invited by Tree-Nation to plant a tree in the project aligned with the vehicle brand that they purchased from Vindis Group.
They will then receive a Tree Certificate for each tree planted on their behalf further exploring the project they have contributed to, alongside access to the virtual Vindis Group Forest, detailing total trees planted and CO2 tonnes offset.
Jamie Vindis, Vindis Group Managing Director said: “This partnership between Vindis Group and Tree-Nation is a significant step forward in our ambition to become a Net Zero organisation by 2030. Our mission began with an important switch to sustainable energy sources throughout the Group and the continued reduction of our overall CO2 emissions by more than 10%.
“However, we believe that our work has only just begun, and there is much more that we can do as an industry and as a business for ourselves and our environment, and this partnership with Tree-Nation will enable our customers to share and contribute to this journey with us.”
