CARBON BALANCING AT
RAINBOW
Rainbow Wholefoods (Kingfisher's associate
company) is now carbon balanced. This means
we've taken 3 steps to understand, reduce and
compensate for our impact on global
warming.
Having had our carbon footprint measured, we
are now financing an equal amount of positive
action to seek to repair the harm which we
cause the earth in the course of our regular
trading, for example, our use of paper, fuel
and so on.
The balances are made by planting trees in
managed estates as well as investing in other
projects which help to preserve the earth's
physical well-being.
We work with a company called C Level to
manage this project for us. Their website is
www.clevel.co.uk
Please get in touch with them if you might be
interested in a similar scheme, for your
company, organisation, or home.

issues including corporate social
responsibility, environmental track record,
workers' rights, animal testing policy and
such like.
