SUSTAINABILITY - did you know?

GREEN ROSES ECHO aligns with three UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS:

#12 - Responsible Consumption and Production.

#13 - Climate Action.

#14 - Life Below Water.

This alignment reflects our values, underpinning guidelines for our operations and supplier standards, and business practices.   

SDG 12:  GRE practices sustainable procurement, carefully selecting suppliers, encouraging open discussions that support circular economy principles - this will include end-of-life solutions for products and packaging stewardship.

GRE's focus:  Recycling; reusing; low waste; low carbon; and plastic-free where possible.

SDG 13:  GRE is developing a carbon emissions programme; and supports a regeneration programme both online and in-person.

SDG 14: GRE donates to WWF NZ - Oceans (Contact Page), and volunteer with Sea Cleaners NZ.  Follow related stories and headlines on our Echo blog.

Our Commitment -

These initiatives are being validated over the next couple of years.  We will show visual progress when applicable, but our primary goal is to develop Green Roses Echo into a community standing we can be earthly proud of - and share our learnings so others can follow.
