CMOStores Group asks staff, suppliers and customers to dig deep for ‘CMGrow’ March 31, 2021/ The online builders’ merchant has launched a new charitable and environmental initiative called ‘CMGrow’, with an initial target of planting 5,000 trees – that’s around two acres – in its local area within two years. The company is aiming to not only reduce its own carbon footprint but also to improve air quality in its home city of Plymouth. To help realise this ambitious goal CMOStores.com, together with the group’s latest acquisition, Total Tiles, has officially partnered with Trees for Cities, the only UK charity working at a national and international scale to improve lives by planting trees in urban areas.

Under the campaign, CMOStores.com and Total Tiles are encouraging staff, suppliers and customers to contribute through fundraising and donations with a target of raising £30,000, which will be funnelled directly into the tree-planting. Members of the CMO team will also undertake a series of fundraising challenges throughout the summer, and hope to begin putting trees in the ground later this year. Commenting on the CMGrow initiative, CMOStores.com’s managing director, Sue Packer, said: “As a business, we’re increasingly conscious of the impact we have on the natural world, and we feel we have a duty to play our part in taking care of our planet. As a people-focused business that understands the importance of getting stuck in on a project, we were searching for a way to take a hands-on approach to this challenge, and Trees for Cities gives us the opportunity to do just that. “I love the great outdoors, so this is a cause that is close to my heart. I’m delighted that we’re able to have a positive impact on our environment, and can start by making the South West even more beautiful as well as contributing to the wellbeing of all.” Rory Field, corporate partnerships director at Trees for Cities, added: “Creating more green spaces in the UK’s towns and cities not only makes people healthier and happier, but it also has a massive impact on the environment by improving air quality, mitigating global warming effects and increasing biodiversity by hosting thousands of species and subspecies in the harshest environments.” “The more trees we plant, the greener our towns and cities become, so we’re delighted to have corporate partners like CMO on board and we’re looking forward to supporting the company with its ambitious goal of planting 5,000 trees.” Share this entry Recent Posts CMO Group taps into plumbing market with new acquisition CMO Group price jumps as it lists on AIM Senior team expands as CMOStores group eyes future growth You’ve missed a bit: CMO identifies most common project pitfalls CMOStores Group asks staff, suppliers and customers to dig deep for ‘CMGrow’ Categories Select Category BIM Building regulations Case study CM Grow CMO Suppliers Community fund Construction materials CPD in construction Customer Service Finance / HR Help & Advice In the media Industry News Latest News Marketing news Self build The Business Tiny homes Uncategorized Vacancies Warehouse / Supply Chain Web / Technical Consumer websites Contact information Registered office CMO Group PLC Burrington Business Park Burrington Way Plymouth Devon PL5 3LX Quick links About CMO Investor information News Contact CMO Privacy Policy | Cookie Policy | Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy | Modern Slavery Statement © Copyright CMO GROUP PLC | Company No. 13451589 We use cookies to ensure you get the best experience
