Officeworks keeps on greening Australia

Customers contribute to national tree-planting program.
 
More than 1400 hectares of land in Australia has been restored since the launch of Officeworks’ Restoring Australia initiative, which celebrated its three-year anniversary last month.
 
Launched in 2017 in partnership with Greening Australia, the initiative is part of Officeworks’ long-term commitment to making a positive difference to the environment.
 
The partnership plants two trees for every one used, based on the weight of paper-based products customers buy at Officeworks. 
 
To date, 639,795 trees have been planted in 16 sites across Australia.
 
Sarah Hunter, managing director of Officeworks, said: “Through Restoring Australia, we are not only supporting native wildlife, landholders and communities that benefit through the tree planting and land restoration projects, but we are also empowering our customers to make more sustainable purchases simply by shopping with us.”
