Green shopping used to be a bit hippy and a bit niche. But many more people are talking about it than doing it (the green action gap) We think Ecomonkey, our response to the gap problem, is the first competitive green loyalty programme. Ecomonkey signposts greener & ethical products by rating products, brands and retailers using a simple traffic light rating scheme. We differentiate ourselves from other programmes by incentivising greener products at higher rates. We have a number of other schemes up our sleeve and we are looking for partners and investors to help bring them all to fruition.
