Tree Appeal and Enviromental Policy
South Seas Trading Company Limited is committed to making a positive contribution to the ever-changing world in which we live. To do this we incorporate recycling of materials wherever possible, ranging from the printing of marketing documents through to the packaging on products and undertake deliveries with consideration for the environment. We use recycled paper for all our stationary and ensure as far as reasonably practicable that all of our products are produced in the fairest possible way.
SOUTH SEAS TRADING ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
South Seas Trading are partners with the "Tree Appeal" organisation (www.treeappeal.com) and we provide funds to plant broad leaf trees in the UK and Globally. Our long term objective is to become more involved with re-planting native trees in rain forests.
We recycle packaging with the exception of national deliveries where extra packaging is required for protection during long distance transportation.
The Tree Appeal Mission Statement :
The philosophy of Tree Appeal is to plant and conserve trees within the UK and globally in recognition and appreciation of the environmental and humanitarian benefits that trees deliver to the wellbeing of our valuable planet.
Trees are the longest lived organism on the planet and therefore planting trees is an investment that creates a global ecological heritage for many hundreds of years. We must demonstrate that we are seriously addressing our own country's environmental issues. Only then are we in a position to influence global environmental changes, like arresting the cutting down of rain forests.
Most environmental damage occurs as a consequence of business activity. We therefore believe the way forward is to give environmentally responsible companies the opportunity to integrate tree planting into their product and service offering and gain a marketing advantage for doing so.
Tree Appeal has, on principle, decided that the funding for tree planting must come from a company's marketing budget thus leaving that company's charitable budget intact, enabling continued support for their many other charitable causes
