The Long Version

Our Standards

griinu Compare is a business with a difference. We aim to be honest, positive and above all sustainable. griinu Compare lists exclusively sustainable products. This means we only list a product if it can be classed in at least one of the following groups:

• Environmental Factors

  • Re-used
  • Low Energy Process
  • Recycled Materials
  • Water Saving
  • Recycled (post-industrial)
  • Reclaimed
  • Organic
  • Natural Materials
  • Saves Energy, Water and Resources
  • Low Energy
  • Recycled (post-consumer)
  • Reduces Chemical Usage
  • Helps Recycling
  • Helps Re-using
  • Helps Composting
  • Biodynamic

• Social Factors

  • Womens' Cooperative
  • HMP Wormwood Scrubs
  • Fair Trade
  • Artisans Cooperative
  • Workers Cooperative
  • No Testing on Animals

We include both social and environmental sustainability as important factors because sustainability is about a wholistic, long term approach and this requires social, environmental and financial considerations. As technology progresses, we anticipate that only products which are both socially and environmentally sustainable will be listed.

Our Aims

We will do three things. First we will try to help people to live sustainable, low-impact lifestyles. Second, we will provide a platform for people to share knowledge and ideas. Third we will set an example of sustainable management in business. Together these aims make ambitious goals but we are determined to succeed and see the impact of our customers' efforts.

Where Are We?

We are based in rural Oxfordshire in a market town called Wantage. It's a nice little town. As a small (currently!) company we operate from home.

Why

When you look out of the window and stare into the sky and dream about what the world will be like in 100 years or 1000 years, you see a world where people are happy and life is good. The reality of our lifestyles today may create a vastly different future. We believe that every individual can make a clear choice and make changes for a positive future. When people work together they can achieve anything. We believe in a positive future and want to work together with everyone and anyone to help this reality dominate.

How

We provide three opportunities to achieve our lofty aims! First we aggregate products from different sources to help people find the right product at the right price. Second we share valuable information about products from reviews to components, giving the consumer the chance to buy a product that fits their values as well as their pocket! Third we provide the platform for products, retailers and consumers to interact with their peers, customers, suppliers and so linking the points on the supply chain. Taken together, we are a source of information and connections which help people make their lifestyles more sustainable.
