Planet Friendly

"It's not easy being green" - Kermit the Frog

 

Never a truer word spoken. We set out to work in a planet-friendly way and place ethical business practice at the core of our work. We proactively support charities and companies who work to make the world a cleaner greener place.We will not knowingly trade with businesses who support environmentally damaging and/or morally or financially corrupt practices.

In 21st century business, being green and ethical is not as straightforward as you may think. World economy is heavily dependent on oil, and many companies have shares or financial interests in things that, on the face of it, are not exactly 'squeaky green'. How much energy went into the computer this article was written with, how long will it take to degrade? You could go mad thinking about it and the questions it throws up seem never-ending.

So we feel it is far better to encourage and support green initiatives than to criticise and focus on what is not. We proactively look for companies that offer certified organic, recycled or natural products and go from there.

We are also looking into organic certification for our products and hope to have the process under way next year.

Organic

Organic First. Where possible, we source organically certified raw ingredients for every product we manufacture. Where this is not possible we will select high quality, wild harvested, fairtrade and/or local ingredients instead. We will not use SLS or Parabens in our skincare and soaps and what's good for you is good for the planet. 

Charities

Donation to charity is a key factor in our business and we are very happy to offer a percentage of our profits to worthy causes. Our aim is to support the great results that these organisations achieve, often for little reward and under difficult circumstances. We offer our thoughts and grateful thanks.

Planet Friendly Packaging

To maintain our planet friendly packaging policy, we endeavour to use recycled, biodegradable and recyclable packaging in all our products. We wrap our soap in recycled hand-made paper and package our creams & liquids in jars that we send in recycled paper postal tubes. We also use biodegradable cellophane bags and wrap, and use recycled paper or organic cotton carrier bags.We ship in recycled boxes and Jiffy bags.   Rest assured, as far as possible,  our packaging can go on the compost heap or in a recycling bin.

Energy

At Green Ore we consider the whole picture and realise that it would be counterproductive to take such care over our ingredients and packaging if we didn't look at the fuels providing the energy to operate.
