Tsurumi Pumps UK has reported such success with its tree planting project, that it  has also introduced a brand new initiative to reduce carbon and provide shelter and habitat for marine life.

During 2024, Tsurumi  planted a tree for every Tsurumi Pump purchased by customers. A total of 12,052 trees were planted  in the UK and worldwide, smashing the original target of planting in excess of 10,000 trees.

Trees are one of the biggest weapons in combating climate change, absorbing and storing harmful carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releasing clean oxygen back into the air. Trees also help prevent flooding, reduce local temperatures and provide habitats for life.

On the back of its its tree-planting success, Tsurumi UK has now pledged to plant a kelp plant for every Tsurumi brand pump complete with hose sold in 2025.

Kelp is a type of seaweed that locks away millions of tonnes of carbon every year, making it a crucial carbon-capture tool in the race to solve climate change. Found along one third of the world’s coastlines, it produces oxygen and food, and provides shelter and habitat for marine life..

Tsurumi will measure, record and publicise how many trees and kelp plants have been planted, and the carbon reductions made. There is a live status report on the Tsurumi Pumps website showing the progress towards the target throughout the year.

“We want to thank all our customers for supporting our carbon reduction initiatives with their Tsurumi Pump purchases and we hope they will continue to support our campaigns throughout 2025," said Sales Director Pete McMutrie. “Sustainability is one of our key objectives and we’ll soon be launching our brand-new sustainability video which highlights the journey the business has been on since 2012 when we started to implement strategies to reduce our carbon footprint."

Well, fair play to Pete and the Tsurumi UK team/ Meet them all of Stand E40 at The Executive Hire Show.
