This Black Friday, we’re doing things differently Georganics. 🌍 At Georganics, we believe in creating positive change. While Black Friday is often associated with overconsumption and waste, we see it as an opportunity to give back and make a difference. This year, we’re turning something typically negative into something positive: ✨ Enjoy 15% off your favorite natural oral care products. 🌱 And we’ll give 15% of our sales during Black Friday to City to Sea, an organization fighting plastic pollution at the source. By choosing Georganics this Black Friday, you’re not just saving – you’re supporting a mission to protect our planet and promote sustainable solutions. Let’s shop consciously, care for our teeths, and protect our seas together. 💙

One of my favourite things about Rituals UK & Ireland, as a customer and as a marketer, is this campaign. As a customer because discount on refills of my regular products ticks so many boxes, and speaks to me as socially and environmentally conscious consumer. As a marketer because this is an excellent example of sustainability marketing. Rather than jump on the Black Friday train just to sell more products, the focus is mindful shopping, rather than all shiny new, with added scarcity tactics. 💚🌿 #sustainability #sustainabilitymarketing #matketing #reuse #consciousconsumer #greenfriday #ritualscares

The world produces 2.5 million new shoes every hour! As we approach the frenzy of Black Friday and Black Week sales, it’s worth taking a step back to reflect on the #sustainability challenges posed by #overconsumption and the role we all play in addressing them. A compelling new Netflix documentary, Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy, offers a sobering look at the environmental and social costs of our shopping habits. The film, directed by Nic Stacey, highlights deceptive marketing practices that encourage overconsumption and exacerbate waste. With insights from industry insiders like former Unilever CEO Paul Polman and former Amazon designer Maren Costa, it reveals how the growth of online shopping has driven #climate change and global #pollution. Ref Bloomberg Article: https://lnkd.in/g3XRmk2u One striking statistic: the world produces 2.5 million new shoes every hour. Visualizing that production scale underscores the urgent need for change. As Stacey reminds us, “Away isn’t a magic place; it’s just somewhere else on Earth.” At Odfjell, we know tackling sustainability challenges requires collaboration and systemic change—including rethinking consumption patterns. While our focus is on decarbonizing shipping and advancing circular solutions, mindful consumption is essential across industries. This Black Friday, I encourage everyone to: - Pause Before You Purchase: Reflect on whether it’s truly needed. - Choose Pre-Loved Items: Explore second-hand options before buying new. - Demand Better from Brands: Support companies committed to sustainability and transparency. Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy offers a powerful call to action. It reminds us that as consumers, we have power in our choices, and as businesses, we must create sustainable systems. Let’s rethink how we shop—not just this Black Week, but every week. Have you seen the documentary? What are your thoughts on tackling #overconsumption? .

Black Friday at Formo: A Better Deal for the Planet (and Its Cows) 🎉 It’s here – Black Friday, the day of non-stop discounts, jam-packed shopping carts, and overloaded servers. But at Formo, we had to ask: does this day really align with our mission? - Our cheese revolution isn’t just about incredible taste – it’s about reducing our environmental impact and giving cows a well-deserved break. - With animal-free production and lower emissions, we believe every day can be a "green Friday" for the planet. 🌍 That’s why we’re skipping the discounts today. Instead, we’re offering something bigger: cheese with a conscience. 🧀 We believe our vision of sustainable nutrition is worth its full value – no gimmicks, just a commitment to making a difference. Every purchase helps us move closer to a world that’s kinder to animals and gentler on the planet. 💙 So while we don’t have flashy deals, we do have an invitation: Join us, and be part of the change. Together, we can make every day a little brighter for the earth and everyone on it.
