Mail Marketing Works is committed to the environment and our support of Greenfleet demonstrates this. Greenfleet is a not-for-profit organisation whose program provides a simple way to reduce our impact on the environment. Greenfleet plant native trees on our behalf. These trees will help to create a forest, and as they grow will absorb the greenhouse gases that our cars produce.

Since 1997, Greenfleet has planted almost three million trees on behalf of Australian motorists and businesses. These trees will form permanent forests and will create an investment in rural Australia for future generations.
