Trees for Global Benefit
Carbon Credits
“As a York-based organisation, we tend to direct our community support budget to organisations and projects which benefit directly the area where the majority of our employees live and work, but this is a worldwide issue that affects us all. We are very pleased to join with Bettys and Taylors, one of our most respected fellow Yorkshire family-owned businesses in supporting this admirable initiative.”
Patrick Shepherd, Deputy Director, Shepherd Group
Shepherd Building Group, has purchased 2500 Plan Vivo Certificates (voluntary carbon credits) from Ecotrust in Uganda.- The Trees for Global Benefits project links small holder farmers to the international carbon market, sequestering carbon through reforestation and agroforestry.
