Our proud history of working together for the planet
Our partnership goes back a long way. We first started working together in 2009 and since then we’ve helped inspire environmental action and supported a range of conservation projects in the UK and around the world.
From 2009-2014 we joined forces for Sky Rainforest Rescue, raising more than £9 million to help protect a billion trees in the Brazilian Amazon and support local communities to make a sustainable living from the forest.
In 2017, as part of the Sky Ocean Rescue campaign, we worked with Swansea University and Project Seagrass to deliver the UK’s first large-scale effort to restore our lost seagrass meadows, planting over 1.2 million seagrass seeds in West Wales.
In 2021, our Ocean Hero campaign inspired the public to live a more ocean friendly lifestyle and called on the UK government to commit to ocean recovery, after which the government announced a ban on fishing and other damaging activities in newly designated Highly Protected Marine Areas.
And in 2022 more than 100,000 members of the public joined our Force For Nature campaign to show their love for the UK’s soil, seagrass, peat, plants and more.
Bringing UK habitats back to life
Right now we’re working together to protect and restore the UK’s precious saltmarshes. These marvellous, muddy habitats may not get much recognition, but they’re found all around the UK and do amazing things for wildlife, flood protection and storing carbon.
That’s why Sky has been supporting our work to protect and restore saltmarshes in key locations around the UK, improving the health of these habitats along the Norfolk coast in partnership with the National Trust, and identifying opportunities for restoration in North Wales.
Not only is this work helping the planet, it’s also giving communities more opportunities to explore nature. Together we helped install a new bridge at Stiffkey Marshes in north Norfolk to give thousands more visitors access to the area without damaging the habitat.
Sky is also helping us champion the power of saltmarsh on the world stage by supporting our vital research and advocacy work.
What else we're doing together
Behind the scenes, we’re also supporting the work of Sky’s sustainability team to reduce the company’s climate and nature impacts. And Sky employees from across the UK have rolled up their sleeves to do their bit for the planet by volunteering their time on some of our conservation projects.
