Customers value sustainability
More than ever, your customers are reflecting the desire of their clients for greener funerals, holding a Greener Globe Funeral Award shows your commitment.
Reducing costs
The Greener Globe Funeral Standard Sustainability Audit helps you reduce the use of resources, water, electricity, paper and fuel – increasing sustainability and reducing costs.
Support your customer’s environmental journey
70%* of greenhouse gas emissions are ‘scope 3’ and include those that occur in products and services from suppliers. Funeral directors are increasingly looking at their supply chain as they endeavour to meet the needs of their growing number of environmentally aware clients.
Committing to source, manufacture and deliver products and services sustainably, enables you to support your customers on their environmental journey.
