Carbon Offset & Sustainability

At LandSheriffs we take our environmental responsibility very seriously and since 2009 we have been offsetting our Carbon Footprint, incorporating a sustainability factor, with an African Church Community project. LandSheriffs employ a diverse and multinational workforce from countries all around the world, one of these being Kenya, and this is where we decided to invest in this long term initiatives.

LandSheriffs contacted a community group, run by the local church, in the Nakuru area of Kenya which works with unemployed young people. Representatives from LandSheriffs met with the leaders of the non-profit group and committed to fund and help set up a tree planting programme, thus creating much needed work for the locals in planting and maintaining the young trees.

We are proud to be assisting this local church movement which is dedicated to helping young people, whilst offsetting our carbon footprint. Rather than the traditional Carbon Offset programs that just purchase trees, LandSheriffs have created this two point plan.

1. Sustainability - We invest in the local area by teaming up and funding a non-profit community group who then create jobs for local people to plant and care for the trees. All members of the work force are hired locally and tools and supplies are sourced locally, where possible.

2. Carbon Offset - Trees are locally sourced, where possible, are selected from native varieties and a diverse selection is planted to encourage biodiversity. Care is taken not to displace or have any impact on local farmers. These trees help improve a region that has been ravaged by deforestation and in places the total decimation of woodlands.

Since 2009 we have planted 1800 trees and in the next four years are dedicated to plants a further 7200 trees, in 2011 and have purchased further acreage for this. As part of our sustainability vision LandSheriffs are dedicated to continuing our Carbon Neutrality and, ultimately, becoming a Carbon Negative company. We are still continuing to look for ways to improve our efficiency further and enhance our working practices, equipment and vehicles to further reduce our total carbon output.

Its only a small step when viewed on a global scale, but one we honestly believe is in the right direction for many social and environmental reasons.

As part of our continued efforts to improve efficiency, and reduce our carbon footprint, the LandSheriffs fleet - with help from NR (CTRL) HS1 Ltd - has been upgraded. These vehicles are on of the most fuel efficient available and produce less CO2 per mile.

Positive about being Negative

As of October 2010 a new 4 acre parcel of land has been purchased and an additional 1800 trees are going to be planted, per year, in the following four years. This, in addition to our current 1800 trees, makes LandSheriffs a Carbon Negative company, a huge accomplishment for a company of our size and in the security sector.

To offset the Carbon produced we only need to plant 790 trees, this calculation is based on several schools of thought regarding the amount of carbon absorbed by a tree during its life. As this is a new science, and no exact figures are available, we used this as a starting point and we will plant at least double the minimum requirement to become and sustain Carbon Neutrality.

This investment in Kenya has paid off in not only reducing our emissions but by helping the people of Nakuru, giving them employment and a regular income. We look forward to continuing and growing this project for many years, and to, hopefully, to be able one day to start new projects in other parts of the world.
