Plant Trees with Reviews: How to Go Carbon Neutral

Turning reviews into roots

At Hague Fasteners, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a responsibility we embrace as a proud third-generation family-run business. Every decision we make carries the weight of legacy, impact, and the hope that we can help create a better future not only for our industry but for the planet we all call home. That’s why we’re turning reviews into roots — transforming customer feedback into tangible environmental action through global tree planting initiatives.

That’s why we’ve continued our partnership with More Trees, a leading reforestation initiative dedicated to fighting climate change and addressing social inequality. More Trees offers a sustainable way to become more sustainable, aligning perfectly with our values and long-term vision. Their work goes beyond planting — it’s about rebuilding ecosystems, empowering communities, and regenerating landscapes through global reforestation efforts.

 

A Global Effort with Local Heart

Through this partnership, we proudly support planting projects across Tanzania, Haiti, Kenya, Rwanda, and Canada. Each location plays a vital role in restoring biodiversity and protecting vulnerable habitats. From East Africa to wildfire-stricken areas in North America, these reforestation efforts breathe new life into lands that have suffered the effects of environmental degradation.

In Canada, we’re especially excited to support initiatives restoring kelp forests — an often-overlooked ecosystem that plays a critical role in absorbing carbon and supporting marine life. Elsewhere, our tree planting helps heal land ravaged by deforestation and gives local communities the tools and training to thrive through sustainable forestry.

Every Tree Tells a Story

Every tree planted through More Trees contributes to a more equitable planet. Trees aren’t just part of the landscape — they’re life-giving, air-cleaning, soil-stabilising powerhouses. They cool our cities, provide homes for wildlife, and offer shade, food, and jobs in communities around the world.

For Hague Fasteners, every tree is also a promise — a commitment to leave things better than we found them.

Turning Reviews into Roots

Starting this July, we’ve launched a new initiative that brings our customers directly into the heart of our sustainability journey: For every Google review left for Hague Fasteners, we plant a tree on your behalf.

Leave us a review here

It’s our way of saying thank you for your feedback — while letting your words take root in something lasting. Whether it’s a note of appreciation or constructive suggestions, every review helps us grow as a business and, now, contributes directly to reforestation efforts around the globe.

“As a third-generation family-run business, we’re incredibly proud to champion this initiative. We believe every business — regardless of size or sector — has a role to play in shaping a more sustainable future for our planet.”
– Jack Hague, Director

This simple act transforms everyday interactions into positive environmental impact. It’s a small gesture that leads to big change — and we’re thrilled to make our customers part of the solution.

With continued support from our community, employees, and collaborators, we’re committed to expanding our efforts and exploring new ways to give back to the planet.

To everyone who’s joined us on this journey — whether by planting, reviewing, or simply cheering us on — thank you. Together, we’re forging not just stronger fasteners, but a stronger, greener future.

With the addition of our ongoing tree planting scheme we are ensuring that we have a positive impact on the environment, removing more carbon from the atmosphere than we create through our operation whilst supporting economic and environmental projects and development in Nepal, Kenya, Honduras, Madagascar & The Philippines.
