PLANET POSITIVE
Forest positive
Brambles will sustainably grow two trees for every tree we use. One tree through our certification programme and one additional tree for the planet. We will ensure 100% sustainable sourcing of timber indefinitely, and enable the transformation of more forestry markets to Chain of Custody (CoC) certification.
Main Target:
Brambles will enable the sustainable growth of two trees for every tree we use.
Supporting Target:
We will ensure 100% sustainable sourcing of timber indefinitely, and enable the transformation of more forestry markets to Chain-of-Custody (CoC) certification.
Restoring the world’s forests to near pre-industrial levels will help meet the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. So we’ll grow two trees for every one we use for our pallets – adding millions of new trees by 2030. One tree is planted through our current certification programmes, and the other tree will be for the planet and its people. We will partner with forestry organisations to assess large-scale planting projects with an aim to increase biodiversity and generate carbon offset credits. These efforts, combined with the broader adoption of Chain-of-Custody certification, will continue to positively transform forest product markets and address our most pressing sustainability issues.
Brambles Forest Positive initiatives will support our own and our customers’ decarbonisation objectives while increasing global forest cover. Reforestation is an effective nature-based solution delivering multiple benefits such as addressing critical biodiversity issues, climate change and opening opportunities in carbon markets. These objectives place Brambles on a pathway towards regeneration and will ultimately help create more natural capital beyond the business’s requirement for raw materials.
The Brambles Forest positive objectives are directly aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs):
