\nDWF has said it will prioritise a 90% emissions reduction target over the next twenty years. The firm\u2019s residual 10% of emissions will be offset by the eponymous forest, a collaboration with Climate Impact Partners, which the firm hopes will sequester carbon as it matures.<\/p>\n
The forest will be in Yarrowford, in the Scottish borders, and will operate under the UK Woodland Carbon Code, the UK quality assurance standard for woodland carbon projects. As well as helping DWF on the way to its net zero goals, the firm has believes that the forest will benefit the local community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cThe DWF Forest is a testament to our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting biodiversity. We recognise that achieving net zero is about more than compliance \u2014 it\u2019s about leading by example and creating lasting impact,\u201d Kirsty Rogers<\/a>, chief sustainability officer at DWF, said.\u00a0\u201cThe DWF Forest not only helps us reach our climate goals but also supports education, community engagement, and biodiversity conservation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Congratulations to DWF on this innovative plan. This is a firm that can<\/em> see the forest for the trees.<\/p>\n
