One of our most important environmental practices is PrintReleaf, the world’s first platform that automatically converts paper footprint into actual trees. ASL is the only partner in the UK to have been awarded ‘Platinum Partner’ status. ASL have partnered with PrintReleaf – as our customers print you actively replant trees in forests that need it most around the world. This initiative is empowering companies to regenerate forests based on their paper footprint. Our customers have collectively offset the equivalent of 383,255,579 pages of paper consumption by reforesting 45,993 trees since joining PrintReleaf in March 2019.
