GreenEcoBox - an ethical & eco-friendly concept
<blockquote>
<p> <strong>Treat yourself</strong> with gourmet or cosmetic products created by exceptional artisans</p>
<p><strong>For a better world</strong>: Each sale triggers a donation to a new organisation every month and a tree is planted</p>
</blockquote>
<p><br />
<em><strong>GreenEcoBox, what is it?</strong></em></p>
<p>GreenEcoBox, it’s all about<strong> ethical monthly or bimonthly boxes</strong> that donate a substantial portion of each sale to charity and plant a tree where it needs to be. GreenEcoBox makes you discover original eco-friendly products created by artisans in Europe, products that can’t be found in the grocery store.</p>
<p>GreenEcoBox proposes 2 boxes:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <strong>Bee happy box</strong>: Think of the bees 🙂 The exclusive <strong>gourmet</strong> box, filled with f<strong>ull-size, natural or organic artisanal</strong> products, always with <strong>sweet and savoury</strong> products, a <strong>drink</strong>, a <strong>natural cosmetic</strong>, a <strong>plant to grow</strong> in its pot, a small paper with seeds with a little humor, and exquisite goodies 🙂 And very important the <strong>donation of 4 €</strong> to a new charity and <strong>a tree planted</strong> in the world with a certificate.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-left:40px">Its price: 42 € delivery included in Europe/UK.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Beauty in the box</strong>: <strong>Natural cosmetics for the whole family,</strong> with <strong>soaps</strong>, <strong>shower gels, shampoos, facials and body care</strong>, all <strong>full-size</strong> of course, a small paper with seeds that makes you smile and its <strong>goodies</strong> for your treat. All these cosmetics are certified<strong> paraben free, sulfate free, non tested on animals, cruelty-free</strong>. For this box,<strong> 3 € are donated to a new charity</strong> and a <strong>tree is planted</strong> in the world, attested on certificate.<br />
<br />
Its price: 33 € delivery included throughout Europe/UK.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong><em>Together we are strong</em></strong></p>
<p>A new charity every month, a new project to which each box contributes, it’s all about the GreenEcoBox mission. On one hand, <strong>the discovery of artisans</strong> creating ethical products, on the other hand <strong>the discovery of charities</strong> and their ecological projects. From the launch, GreenEcoBox chose as partner <strong>Greenpeace</strong> and its project about <strong>bees and the agriculture</strong> and <strong>WWF</strong> with its <strong>campaign on biodiversity in the Alps</strong>.<br />
<br />
GreenEcoBox has set up a program to target different areas every month ranging from <strong>natural resources</strong>, such as drinking water (Water Footprint Network), <strong>food, energy, to endangered species</strong>, an integral part of biodiversity. And then, there is the <strong>must-do tree planted</strong> with each sale. GreenEcoBox has chosen <strong>OneTreePlanted</strong> as partner and targets each month a different region of the Globe.</p>
<p>The list of charities grows every month ...</p>

<hr />
<p><em><strong>Everything in transparency and equity</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Transparency</strong> from the choice and composition of the products in the box (natural or organic) to the amount donated to a new charity every month</p>
<p><strong>Equity / Fair trade</strong>:<br />
> <strong>Support artisans</strong>: Make them known and pay at the right price<br />
><strong> Support charities</strong>: substantial donations (€ 4 or € 3 per box every month)<br />
> <strong>Offset our carbon emissions</strong> (shipments) and contribute to reforestation: 1 tree planted every month for each client (the certificate of the planted tree is sent with the box to the client).</p>
<hr />
<p><em><strong>Strengths</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>A unique and coherent concept: every time we consume we make a donation.</li>
<li>Ethical in consumption, whether gourmet or cosmetic.</li>

<li>A choice of useful cosmetic products according to a precise schedule and communicated in each box to the customer to avoid overconsumption, purchase of redundant or superfluous products.</li>
<li>Exclusive partnerships with non-profit organizations such as Greenpeace and WWF, but also OneTreePlanted, MEDASSET, Water Footprint Network, Willows Hedgehog Rescue and more to come.</li>

<p><em><strong>The team</strong></em></p>
<p>Once upon a time there was GreenEcoBox, an "<strong>out of the box</strong>" idea that needed to be realized as soon as possible: Good for you, good for the Planet. Benjamin shares this idea with Christine, his mother, and together they establish the principles of the company, lay the foundations and get started!</p>
<p><strong>Benjamin</strong>, it’s the ideas that make the customers happy, it’s the precious discoveries of valuable artisans, every chosen product is excellent, also the small goodies in each box. It’s also a momentum of youth, adventure and innovation.</p>
<p><strong>Christine</strong>, it’s this commitment for ethical products that do not hurt the Planet, this choice of non-profit organisations that make the difference, and this customer relationship in several languages. Experience and qualifications in marketing and management help, of course.</p>
<p>The website it’s <strong>Philippe</strong>, the master of the place, the one who knows how to make everything work.</p>
<p>For the graphics it’s <strong>Tony</strong>, all about fabulous powerful in-depth images, essential, always with smile and humour.</p>
<p>And finally <strong>Yahto</strong>, the white shepherd with his long hair and his friendly smile, the one who can wait, make laugh and run after his "Kong" when GreenEcoBox goes into pause mode. </p>
