At Two Degrees Marketing we are passionate about education, health, the environment, sustainable business practices, pure water, sustainable food, micro financing, and giving back to our community.
We work with a diverse group of companies, but there is a special place in our hearts for companies that practice sustainable business practices; that help solve education and health challenges, provide alternative energy solutions, produce sustainable food or pure drinking water, and companies that give back to the community.
We Love Working With Sustainable Businesses or Those Who Want to Be
Sustainable business practices not only do good, but they are good for your business. A sustainable business or green business has no negative impact on global or the local environment, community, society, or economy. A business that strives to meet the triple bottom line that the Bruntland Report explained is like a balanced three-legged stool of people, planet, and profit. Green businesses generally meet these four criteria:
- Incorporates principals of sustainability into each business decision
- Supplies environmentally friendly products or services replacing demand for non-green products or services
- Company, product or service is greener than competition
- Company has made a commitment environmental principals in their business operations
A sustainable business “meets the needs of the present world without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” as mentioned at the United Nations General Assembly in 1987.
Sustainable food production as described by Sustainable Table at their blog at EcoCentric: “Sustainable agriculture is a way of raising food that is healthy for consumers and animals, does not harm the environment, is humane for workers, respects animals, provides a fair wage to the farmer, and supports and enhances rural communities.”
