Our success measured.

We are a for profit business so profits are an important part of our business model but this profit motive must not have an effect on the principles of people, planet & prosperity and where the motive overlaps with the principles of the triple bottom line our values take priority, with this in mind we evaluate using these questions.

 

“Does it have a negative affect on the people, planet & prosperity”.

If the answer is yes, we look at how we minimise this in the short term and eliminate it in the long-term using the principles of SMART.

 

The definable product facts

Our products are designed to solve the issues associated with modern chemical products both on an environmental front and a health for user level.

With this process in mind, we have looked at the impact of distribution which has led us to designing our products in a sachet form to minimise shipping to a quantifiable level.

A lorry load of our products is the equivalent of 18.4 lorries of a pre dosed 1 litre bottle of standard antibacterial solution and this is cumulative if using a re-usable bottle.

·         Our delivery - 167% less carbon than the standard product.

·         Our sachets - carbon footprint per solution is 1.78g (we are working on eliminating even this figure) compared to a minimum of 118 grams for a standard bottle.

·         Our products –are designed with the environment and the usage as the initial building blocks of the products, we have used natural solutions that are effective but have non toxic side effects for the environment and the person using them, it was vital that they were made to be safe in the natural environment and to safe for use, we want them to be applied while eliminating the need for extra equipment like PPE to remove the extra environmental damage caused by disposal of supplementary products.

·         Continuous improvement – Where an environmental impact has been identified we will work towards finding compostable or environmentally and socially responsible alternatives.
