How We Support Local Irish Shoppers
A primary pillar in the creation of Shop Sustainability is to make sure that consumer needs can be satisfied through sustainable practices and the support of green entrepreneurs. In pursuit of this, our team works to make the eco-shopping experience as convenient, promising and accessible as possible.
Supports We Offer...
Personalised local marketplaces
Our platform is designed to allow consumers to filter and specify their shopping to meet their desires. The products found on Shop Sustainability can be organised to present you with local eco-businesses and products in your area as well as products that support the development of specific SDGs or satisfy certain environmental certifications.
Community Development
In understanding that environmentalists and eco-shoppers still represent a minority of the population in most areas, we aim to foster a sense of community for those setting the example of sustainable change. Our team works to post community green events, workshops, markets and business promotions that support sustainable consumerism.
Opportunities To Educate
Open data and information outputs on the benefits and long-term impacts of sustainable practices is one of the best motivators to continue to choose eco-products in a marketplace of environmentally and socially destructive products. One of our key goals as a team is to ensure that the title of ‘eco-friendly’ is not something to overlook. Choosing to shop sustainably and support eco-businesses can host many health, environmental and social benefits for individuals and communities alike.
Information for incentives to sustainable choice
In an effort to further encourage eco-conscious practices, our team has provided various government, local and business-specific incentive information. Many of these incentives are a quick and easy change to your daily habits that can allow you to immediately reap the benefits of your sustainable choices.
Transparency
In order to ensure that sustainable choices are well-informed and of good intent, all products that are marketed on our digital market are accompanied by detailed product information and relevant sustainability credentials.
Accessibility and convenience
Our team has taken steps to ensure the design of the Shop Sustainability interface is as easy to navigate as possible. With a range of filters to find products that best suit your needs and wants, as well as clear, informative and frequently updated news posts, we aim to make shopping sustainably easy for everyone.
