Charity
Pacific Produce are always trying to find ways to give back to and support charities, aiming to help people and the environment.
We regularly support a variety of charitable organisations. In the sections that follow provide a brief overview of each charity, offering insight into their missions and the impactful work they do.
Trees for life
As an office, we create Co2 emmisions due to our buisness trips. We offset our emisions by donating money to plant trees to add to our grove in Scotland each year, and separatley donate money to plant more trees.
So far we have planted 3043 trees! This is an ongoing donation we make every year, we also welcome and encourage donations from outside of Pacific Produce, the more we plant the better!
