Sustainability & Growing The "Green Candy" Forest
If anyone has seen Greta Thunberg on the news lately, you will already know that one of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5°C is to plant trees. They are crucial for absorbing carbon in the atmosphere and to prevent a climate and ecological collapse.
That is why we have a tree planting partner - Ecologi & The Eden Reforestation Project - who plant millions of trees and support carbon offsetting projects around the world every month. We support their incredible work in Madagascar and the rest of the world and plant a tree with every product sale. Take a look at 'Green Candy' forest on Ecolgi and together we can achieve our goal of being Carbon Neutral. Why not Join our #GCC Tribe today?
Where did the #GCC story begin?
In March 2020, Steve (Our Founder) quit his job for a big adventure traveling around the world'. But, as measures where soon introduced; to prevent the spread of Covid-19, his travells only lasted lasted 12 days. The Coronavirus Pandemic had brought with it unprecedented times and he, along with entire nations where soon confined to the UK's lock-down & quarantine rules at the time.
Unfortunately, Steve did not have a job to go back too and had little financial support to find his feet again. He could not afford to simply 'weather the storm' and instead used his time to pursue a lifelong dream of developing his own ethical company and taking part in the much needed 'Green Revolution' the planet needs so desperately.
It did not take long for Steve to spot the perfect oppourtunity in the confectionary industry since struggling to satisy his sweettoooth since being vegan forthe last 2+ years. By August 2020, The Green Candy Co was born with the goal of bring you the best range of tasty vegan and eco-friendly candy and so was Steve's dream to share his passion for vegan food, love of animals and desire for all things sweet.
The Future Is Green!
