Nick Baldwin, our Sales and Marketing Director is thrilled to share an initiative which will help Baldwin Boxall make a real difference. It’s called Pinwheel and it’s all about turning good intentions into real-world impact.
Through Pinwheel Earth, Baldwin Boxall can directly support projects that restore nature, clean our oceans, remove carbon and power new green technologies. What makes it special is that it takes the complexity out of sustainability — it’s transparent, credible and designed to show exactly how our actions are helping the planet. With Pinwheel, we’re not just talking about doing better; we’re actually funding change, project by project, story by story. It’s a way for us to bring our values to life and show that when we work together, our impact can go far beyond our business.
We are working with two Worldwide projects where we invest in carbon credits, these represent one tonne of carbon removed or prevented from entering the atmosphere. By purchasing these credits, Baldwin Boxall offsets 200 tonnes of emissions while supporting projects that make a real difference. One project in Mexico restores degraded land, protects against soil erosion and supports over 70 local landowners with better farming methods and sustainable incomes. Another project provides safe water so households no longer need to purify water by boiling it with firewood, cutting both wood use and carbon emissions. In short, our carbon credits don’t just offset CO₂ — they help people, protect ecosystems and create long-term environmental benefits.
This year, we also supported three additional, powerful, carbon-reduction projects – each chosen because it delivers real climate impact in a different way.
First, Project Seagrass. Seagrass is incredibly effective at capturing carbon, protecting coastlines and supporting ocean life, yet the UK has lost more than 90% of it. By supporting this project, we’re helping restore one of the planet’s most important – and most threatened – marine ecosystems.
Second, hedgerow and tree restoration in the UK. Hedgerows rarely get the funding they deserve, even though they’re just as important as woodlands for carbon storage and wildlife. They connect habitats and support huge amounts of biodiversity, making them vital to a healthy landscape.
Finally, rewilding. Restoring natural systems like woodlands, peatlands and salt marshes is one of the most effective ways to lock away carbon and protect against flooding, drought and other climate impacts. Rewilding gives us a nature-led, hopeful path forward. Together, these projects protect our oceans, restore our countryside and rebuild the natural systems we all depend on – a carbon strategy Baldwin Boxall can genuinely be proud of.
Nick commented, ‘In the very near future we will be sharing a voting link that will allow our customers to delve deeper into these three projects to fully understand their benefits and then have the option to vote on their preferred project which will allow us to spread our funding across the three projects.’
