FatFace
An inspiring 75-year partnership with FatFace
60 trees, 100 acres, One future.
The National Forest is proud to announce a ground-breaking 75-year partnership with FatFace, the British lifestyle clothing and accessories retailer, who are helping us with our aim of growing a positive future for everyone.
The partnership has sustainability at its heart, involving the planting of 60,000 trees on 40 hectares of a new 100-hectare complex in the National Forest. The new woodland will sequester around 10,000 tonnes of carbon whilst also helping to enhance biodiversity, and support the wellbeing of our communities, helping us to a grow a greener, healthier and more sustainable future.
Just like the National Forest, FatFace are passionate about creating a positive future and are committed to sustainability. The innovative offsetting project aims to minimise carbon and helps towards their goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2025. Part of the FatFace Product, Planet and Community Strategy, their model involves reducing carbon emissions by at least 40% by 2025 and offsetting the remainder by planting trees and supporting carbon reduction initiatives.
Alongside this, they are also working to eliminate waste to landfill and single use plastics, as well as aiming to power their head office and all UK stores with renewable energy. You can find out more about FatFace and their journey to sustainability over on their website.

It is partnership with sustainability at its heart and one that is helping to grow the future together.
