SUPPORTING VERITREE REFORESTATION IN ESSEX

At Rates Ford, we’re proud to support the Veritree scheme, helping to create real, measurable environmental impact through verified tree planting. This initiative connects everyday business activity with meaningful climate action, allowing us to contribute to a more sustainable future for drivers across Essex.

Veritree goes beyond simply planting trees. Each project is carefully managed, monitored and measured, providing full transparency and confidence. From initial planting through to long-term growth, every stage is tracked using real-time, ground-level data. This means the impact of our Veritree partnership is not only visible but measurable. Detailed reporting shows how restoration projects support biodiversity, protect habitats and contribute to carbon capture over time. It also enables transparent, responsible sharing of progress.

By supporting Veritree, Rates Ford is part of a global movement focused on restoring ecosystems and driving positive environmental change. Alongside our sales of electrified vehicles, it’s a practical step towards reducing our environmental footprint while continuing to serve our customers.

If you’d like to find out more about the Veritree initiative or our sustainability efforts, call or visit Rates Ford in Grays, Essex. We’ll be happy to chat to you about the ways in which we support community endeavours and environmental action.

THE IMPACT Together, everyday servicing becomes environmental action, delivering benefits for forests, climate resilience and future generations.
10,000 TREES PLANTED Planting 10,000 trees can have the equivalent impact of taking up to 1,878 petrol/diesel powered cars off the road. Each tree supports biodiversity, restores habitats and helps rebuild ecosystems.
10 OF CO₂ ABSORBED The average tree absorbs 10 kg of carbon dioxide per year for the first 20 years of its growth, helping to offset the emissions from petrol and diesel vehicles.
1,000 OF CO₂ SEQUESTERED Over the course of a decade, 10,000 planted trees would help to lock away up to 1,000,000 kg of carbon dioxide, delivering lasting climate benefits.
HOW YOU CAN HELP All you need do is book your regular service, and we’ll plant a tree on your behalf. It’s that easy!
