Our Mission
To support green businesses and help
eco- conscious consumers make informed
purchasing decisions, contributing to positive change for our planet.
Our Promise
To support and inspire green business owners and to provide consumers with facts rather than opinion.
How we help businesses
Our aim is to support as many eco-conscious and sustainable businesses as possible, and we particularly focus on those based in the UK where we’re based.
We provide free business resources, including recommended courses and a directory of sustainable business suppliers (ranging from eco-friendly packaging suppliers to social media experts). In our spotlight we feature the most exciting new sustainable innovations worldwide to act as a source of inspiration and motivation.
We also work with industry experts to develop free webinars, ranging from legal and funding advice to the latest sustainability information (you can catch up on our previous webinars here). Everything we develop has been specifically created with an understanding of the needs of eco-conscious businesses. We're a springboard for business growth, hence the name!
We’re building a community - a place to share, seek help from and be inspired by your fellow green business founders, and you can join our Linked In community here.
How we help consumers
Green Springboard aims to make your purchasing decisions simpler. We review sustainable and eco-conscious products and services, and produce comparison tables in order to help you choose products that work for you. We don't personally try out all products that we review, but we collate the facts and figures that we fell you need to help you decide what to buy. And we'll endeavour to steer clear of companies that we believe to be greenwashing.
We appreciate that not everyone looks to reduce their environmental impact in the same way. For some, plastic reduction is their foremost concern, for others, its most important to cut down (or cut out) consumption of meat. Not everyone is able to commit to a zero-waste lifestyle, so we'll do what we can to help.
We're transparent in that through some links to green businesses we may earn affiliate commission if you make a purchase. The revenue we make when you purchase helps us continue to be able to generate free resources for our green business community. So by purchasing through us, you're helping us help them. Thank you!
What makes a sustainable business?
Sustainability is an incredibly complex concept which considers multiple environmental and social factors. A green business should focus on the sustainability of the company and improve the future through its corporate purpose, rather than damaging it. It should also take on social responsibility.
We feature businesses that fulfil our internally agreed criteria, but it can be challenging for a company to be 100% sustainable especially where technology may be a limitation. We steer clear from green-washing but may feature companies who may have elements to their business that they are still seeking to improve.
