Manchester-based printing specialists MuPrint are proud to announce their membership in the 100 Trees Club, an initiative by City of Trees that is helping to transform Greater Manchester into a greener, more sustainable region. Through this commitment, MuPrint is actively contributing to local reforestation efforts, air quality improvements, and the enhancement of urban green spaces.
The 100 Trees Club is a vital part of City of Trees’ mission to plant trees, restore woodlands, and connect people with nature across Greater Manchester. By joining, MuPrint has pledged financial support to help plant and care for at least 100 trees annually, ensuring the long-term health and sustainability of the city’s environment.
A Commitment to Sustainability
MuPrint has built a strong reputation as a trusted printing provider for Manchester’s student and business communities, offering high-quality printing, binding, and promotional materials. As the company continues to grow, it has recognised the need to invest in sustainable practices to help minimise its environmental impact.
John Shiel, Managing Director of MuPrint, shared his thoughts on why this initiative is important:
“As a business at the heart of Manchester, we believe it’s crucial to give back to the city and support initiatives that create a lasting positive impact. Trees are essential for improving air quality, reducing carbon emissions, and making our city more resilient to climate change. By joining the 100 Trees Club, we’re taking an active role in shaping a greener future for Manchester, and we encourage other businesses to do the same.”
The environmental benefits of tree planting are well-documented, from absorbing CO₂ to reducing flooding risks and enhancing biodiversity. However, the impact of urban greenery goes beyond just ecological advantages—it also plays a key role in improving mental wellbeing, community cohesion, and quality of life.
Businesses Making a Difference
By supporting City of Trees, MuPrint is joining a growing network of businesses that recognise the importance of corporate social responsibility and sustainability. The 100 Trees Club offers a meaningful way for companies to contribute to Manchester’s green transformation while demonstrating their commitment to environmental action.
City of Trees works closely with businesses, volunteers, and local authorities to ensure that tree-planting projects are strategically placed where they will have the most impact. These projects not only create greener spaces but also provide opportunities for community engagement, including employee volunteering days where staff can take part in hands-on conservation efforts.
“One of the things that excites us most about this partnership is the opportunity for our team to get directly involved in tree planting and conservation work. It’s great to see first-hand the positive impact we’re helping to create, and we’re looking forward to working with City of Trees on future projects,” added John.
Looking Ahead
MuPrint is committed to reducing its environmental footprint, and its involvement in the 100 Trees Club is part of a broader strategy to incorporate more sustainable practices into its operations. The company is already exploring ways to use recycled materials, reduce waste, and improve energy efficiency in its printing services.
By taking action today, MuPrint hopes to inspire other Manchester businesses to consider how they, too, can support the local environment.
