OneGroup – Carbon Negative

December 5th, 2010 by Management

OneGroup are now Carbon Negative, they have extended their partnership with Greenfleet, a leading conservation organisation in Australia that provides practical ways for people, businesses and organisations to prevent and minimise the greenhouse gases they product.  Greenfleet works to create forests in areas of environmental concern, putting back (where possible) the mix of native species that would have been present in the local area prior to land clearing, and now has in excess of 6 million trees growing to capture carbon on behalf of its supporters. 

Miessence is committed to providing exceptional home,
health and body products that support the health and vitality of our customers and the planet.
Our sustainable approach for sourcing raw materials respects,
supports and nurtures the ecology and energy of the planet, our customers,
and the indigenous people who labour to grow our pure ingredients.
That’s why we are the world’s first certified organic skin care, personal care and nutritional products company to be carbon negative!
