Greenleaf Origins
Greenleaf was founded by two friends who met whilst living together at university. During their first year, they learned they shared an interest in the planet’s wellbeing. Ideas began to flow and eventually the pair came up with the concept which today is Greenleaf.
They recognised that either finding eco-friendly businesses or adopting practices wasn’t that easy, for one reason or another there are barriers to uptake.
The team developed a business which focuses on smashing those barriers down, making all the greenest businesses, tech and methods accessible and valuable to all parties.
Our Bigger Picture
Greenleaf TDG are aiming to create a global network of organisations & people who really take their stewardship of the environment seriously.
Greenleaf’s emphasis is all on action and only reluctantly endorse offsetting as a last resort. That’s why our focus is beyond net zero and Greenleaf Certification is a mark of businesses who are acting to reduce their impact now – all the way to gross zero.
Greenleaf’s tech and services are designed for one purpose: to catalyse the move to a circular, green economy- and we believe as a collective, it can be done in record time.
Pushing sustainability forward...
All of Greenleaf’s activity, products and services are designed specifically to make progress on the pressing sustainability issues we face, as set out in the UN Development goals.
Greenleaf directly push forward 9 of the 17 goals.
HOW USING OUR SERVICES HELPS US MEET OUR TARGETS
We work with our partner businesses to ensure one critical feature runs throughout the Greenleaf Network: solutions provided have less or no environmental consequences compared to the mainstream market.
Beyond that, the team at Greenleaf work with our partners to help their businesses make a positive impact on the environment and guarantee doing so is a forward movement for the company. We endeavour to ensure that by working with us, considering the environment is not just adding extra unnecessary work on top of dealing with the day-to-day on-goings of their business.
This means our customers can shop with trust and confidence wherever you find our logo; knowing it certifies that this company contributes to a cleaner tomorrow.
An issue in combating climate change is the behaviour of businesses, the tricky bit is- this is arguably driven by us, the consumer. How we spend our money has bigger consequences than we probably realise or, more likely, have the time to think about.
What’s trickier still is knowing what are the best options and who to get them from, right at the precise moment you need to know- and that’s where we come in. We understand that a key part of managing your footprint is knowing just this and that’s why our app and services provide this information easily at the touch of a button.
That means that having and using an account with us, business or personal, takes care of the micro- you’ll soon be on your way to reducing your environmental effect on a daily basis. Then, the macro is taken care of through the growth and success of out partners.
The success of businesses making a point of being environmentally responsible will further the shift in demand, behaviour and attitudes on a larger scale setting the example for new start-ups and breathing a new air of life into established brands.
So, whilst we’ve made a product that can directly tackle climate change, we need you to use it and help spread the word to make the impact happen and happen for good!
