Leaders Romans Group (LRG) has announced an enhancement to its sustainability partnership with Green the UK. 

The partnership will now also encompass restoring wildflower meadows, planting wildflowers in local school grounds, helping migrate and restore native oyster populations in The Solent and supporting a project to restore kelp along the Sussex coastline.

In July 2021, LRG announced a partnership with Green the UK to plant one tree for every house sold or let through the company. To date, the partnership has planted over 16,000 trees on land equivalent in size to 16 football pitches. According to the property group, those trees will sequester at least 35 tonnes of carbon annually, equivalent to almost 100,000 people breathing daily.

In partnership with The Sussex Kelp Recovery, LRG’s support will enable research to monitor the natural recovery of kelp, marine life and the local fisheries they support and assess the impacts of other factors such as sedimentation that could hinder natural kelp regeneration.

David Wilson, chief operations officer of LRG, said: “We are thrilled to be able to strengthen our partnership with Green the UK by adding these important local environmental causes.

“These initiatives aim to promote a green ethos within the local communities that LRG loves and works in. They also aim to ensure that future generations understand the importance of protecting the environment and the need to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. 

“As a nationwide company with local high street branches and their surrounding communities at their heart, these additional initiatives are an exciting step forward in LRG’s aim to become carbon neutral by 2030,” Wilson added.
