Cormac enters charity partnership with Cornwall Wildlife Trust
Leading civil engineering, highway, and environmental services provider Cormac has formed a charity partnership with Cornwall Wildlife Trust. This collaboration emphasises the strong alignment between Cormac’s activities and the Trust’s mission to conserve Cornwall’s natural ecosystems and wildlife.
Cornwall Wildlife Trust has been dedicated to protecting the county’s wildlife and habitats for more than six decades, while Cormac is committed to maintaining Cornwall Council’s environmental assets. They are focused on preserving natural landscapes, improving biodiversity, and ensuring communities have access to nature and green spaces, clearly demonstrating their shared values.
Cornwall is facing an ecological and climate emergency, and local biodiversity is following worrying global trends that impact everyone’s future. This charity partnership demonstrates Cormac’s support for Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s valuable work. It follows our ‘Pledge for Nature’ with Cornwall & Isles of Scilly’ Local Nature Partnership’ (LNP), which features three main commitments, including “take action to protect, enhance, create and restore local nature-rich areas, whilst reducing resources on our environment.
Cormac has already delivered national award-winning green infrastructure projects and published its first Nature Recovery Plan, recognising the significant opportunity to help ensure at least 1,000 hectares of land are well managed for nature by 2030 through our environmental operations. We, therefore, look forward to building upon this foundation in the years ahead, continuing our biodiversity journey alongside Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
Sam Lucock, Community Fundraising and Support Officer, at Cornwall Wildlife Trust said:
“We are incredibly grateful and excited that Cormac has chosen Cornwall Wildlife Trust as its charity of the year. Cormac’s pioneering engineering works have helped to provide invaluable services across the county, and now they are helping us to create a Cornwall where nature can thrive, a testament to their ongoing mission to protect the natural world.
“Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Cormac’s partnership will allow us to create wild spaces for wildlife, so that we can enjoy wildlife both now and for future generations to enjoy. We could not achieve our goal of preserving this beautiful county’s wildlife without the generosity of generous supporters such as Cormac; I, therefore, look forward to seeing what the two organisations can achieve together over the next year.”
Zoe Hilditch, Cormac’s Environmental Sustainability Manager stated:
“By engaging in fundraising activities for Cornwall Wildlife Trust, we are further integrating our efforts to ensure that our land management practices benefit the local environment. We also support a charitable organisation that shares our commitment to reviving wildlife, empowering communities to take meaningful actions for nature, and fostering a society where nature is valued. By doing this, we continue to give back, make a difference and deliver value for our communities.”
Representatives from the charity held a live question-and-answer session to launch the partnership and give employees valuable insights into the Trust’s mission and critical role in environmental stewardship.
Staff from Cormac received ideas on how they could participate in fundraising for the charity, either individually or as a group with colleagues.
