Giving added value to your produce,

The Greener for Life brand carries the unique principles of:

Greener food for Life
Greener fuel for Life
Greener electricity for Life

Following approval of the ‘Greener for Life’ accreditation, products carry the GfL logo to identify them as being In balance with nature, food, fuel & the environment.

Greener for Life are working with its existing supply chain to contract process `Greener for Life` branded products. We have already successfully achieved deals across the dairy sector and are now looking at the meat, bakery, fish, vegetable and fruit markets.

Electricity and gas produced will carry the Greener for Life 'Ecogas' brand.

Suppliers of feedstocks including grass, maize, rapeseed and wheat will become Greener for life accredited. In return we are able to pay a premium to suppliers as we have already achieved a premium mechanism linked forward price for Greener for Life accredited gas and electricity.

Allowing the consumer to recognise good value without an environmental cost is key to a successful future and will also generate further developments to help reduce our impact on the world in which we live.

The Green Fund

The public can do something new today for their future tomorrows. This is a unique pledge supported by a range of Greener for Life branded products that will command an additional premium. This premium will go into a not for profit organisation called the Green Fund, supporting conservation, the supply chain, renewable energy, industry and consumers. The Green Fund is also governed by organisations representing farming, the environment, nature, conservation, the supply chain, renewable energy and consumers.

The funds will be used to create a cleaner world that allows all living species to co-exist together. It will involve projects within the community ranging from education/open centres within the Renewable Energy Centres to the protection of endangered species. It will also include working with manufacturers on energy efficiency processors, transport efficiency and the use of bioplastics for degradable packaging.

Consumers will be able to follow projects that have benefited from the Green Fund. This will be either via a in-store low energy screen or on the `Green Fund` Web site.
