Nectar360 which owns and operates Nectar, the UK’s largest coalition loyalty scheme, has extended its partnership with the Woodland Trust until 2027. This collaboration allows customers to support vital conservation efforts while earning rewards for their everyday shopping.

The Nectar and Woodland Trust partnership was launched in 2021, following a successful corporate partnership between the charity and Sainsburys which has been in place since 2004; playing a key role in conservation projects, including planting over 5.1 million trees and protecting more than 2,000 acres of woodland across the UK.

The extended partnership provides customers with ways to get involved and make a positive environmental impact while collecting Nectar points:

• Earning 20 points for every £1 spent on Woodland Trust memberships online, directly supporting conservation
