New Zealand's Sustainable Business of the Year
Ehara taku toa, I te toa takatahi, engari ko taku toa takitini.
My achievements are not mine alone, but those of many.
We would like to acknowledge all of our loyal customers whose support has helped ecostore to become New Zealand's Sustainable Business of the Year - the top honour at the recent National Sustainable Business Network Awards.
ecostore was also announced as the winner of the Trailblazer Large and Corporate category.
For us, being more sustainable is an ongoing process right across ecostore, requiring continuous focus and investment. This includes our business practices, how we develop new products and in the way we market and distribute our range.
To be recognised for this was humbling.
An ecostore project - growing organic gardens in schools
A project aimed at helping school kids create their own organic garden, earned a Green Ribbon Award for ecostore.
ecostore was nominated for the award by the Principal of Ponsonby Intermediate School by Keith Dowdle, who said, "ecostore deserve recognition as they have shown strong commitment to raise environmental awareness within the community and inspire people to change - without seeking any direct benefit as a business."
Ponsonby Intermediate has been the host of a successful organic gardening initiative by ecostore at their school. The project has provided children with real hands-on experience in growing an organic garden. They gain experience in the art of composting and recycling, and an understanding of sustainability, zero waste and other organic principles.
Ecostore products are made in New Zealand, GE free, are not tested on animals, and come in recyclable packaging.
