Net Zero Devices
On our path to sustainability, at IPS we formed a partnership with Tree-Nation. They are one of the largest organisations for helping companies offset their CO2 emissions. Since their inception in 2006, more than 630,000 users and +17,500 companies have planted more than 37 million trees using their platform.
For every device installed IPS have committed to planting 10 trees.
This partnership is to help our clients who need to utilise print move towards a carbon neutral solution while also helping:
Stop deforestation
Fight Climate Change
Support Local Communities
How Tree-Nation Works
Tree-Nation combines its own set of CO2 measurement tools complemented with third-party verification and certification standards to meet the highest CO2 offset requirements. While also giving:
- Frequent updates from the fields
- Online public tree planting data, per planting site and project
- Tree-Nation planting certificate for your trees
As part of our initiative to ensure all our devices are Net Zero, IPS will plant 10 trees for every device installed. We will also create a portal which gives your team access to analytics and provides certifications for all the trees planted in your own forest.
