Green directory is world first

Green directory is world first

Ever wanted to find the best offers on the most sustainable, healthiest and safest products or services in New Zealand?

The Sustainable Business Network, in collaboration with green living site Ecobob.co.nz, make it easy at Greenlist.co.nz - the world’s first online directory of green products and services where listings are compared against basic principles of sustainability.

Sustainable Business Network Founder and Chief Executive, Rachel Brown, was inspired to be part of creating this new resource for people because “There are already a significant and growing number of consumers who care. They have been asking for one place to go where they can find and compare the incredible range of green products and services already available here in New Zealand.”

Carthew Neal, creator of environmental TV series WA$TED! and Ecobob director adds; “Every New Zealander wants to make the best decisions for themselves and the environment, but with so many choices, its often hard to tell which is the best decision. Not only does Greenlist help us compare products, it provides people with great deals.”

Suppliers provide special offers when they list their products or services. They then rate themselves against six principles of sustainability: cyclic, solar, mega-efficient, safe, social, and certified.

Users of the site have the opportunity to share their thoughts about the product or service by commenting on the listings. This results in a full 360-degree view of the listings and keeps suppliers honest: as claims are endorsed, refuted, questioned, or discussed.

The beta version of the site is already up and running and will be officially launched to consumers in Auckland at Occam Café on Tuesday March 24th between 5 and 7pm. The site is available at: www.greenlist.co.nz.

Sponsors NZI and EECA are thrilled to support a website that aligns with their own commitment to sustainability.
