Environmental protection is a key priority for us at enfinium and we are always striving to protect the biodiversity in our local communities. This project is a great opportunity to continue the involvement of enfinium Parc Adfer in the vital preservation of the local wildlife and environment in North Wales.”
The pledge is the latest example of enfinium’s commitment to their vision of ‘making a difference today to deliver a cleaner tomorrow’. A key part of enfinium’s environmental strategy is to protect the biodiversity, ecological areas, and associated ecosystem services of the local communities it operates within, as outlined in the company’s recently published 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report.
Dr Graeme Cotterill, Fundraising Director at North Wales Wildlife Trust, said “We’re always delighted to be able to work for wildlife with partners, and it’s great to have enfinium on board. Their support is vital to us achieving our vision for Y Graig as a haven for people and wildlife alike, and we’re looking forward to local residents and rare species reaping the benefits.”
