Ecotone UK

Taking time to switch off, have a laugh and spend time together is a key part of what we do here at Ecotone UK. Recently our Camberley colleagues came together for our regular team quiz over lunch to unwind, get competitive and put their general knowledge to the test. As expected our brilliant quiz master, Nick Morgan, delivered an entertaining mix of weird, wonderful and baffling questions. Some of them definitely had us scratching our heads... and we're convinced Nick could host his own game show! We've shared three of the True or False questions in this post – as it's Friday why not have a go and let us know your answers in the comments? We'll reveal the answers on Tuesday next week. This was a great opportunity for everyone to connect, have a laugh and of course there was a little healthy competition too.  #TeamCulture #WorkplaceWellbeing #EmployeeEngagement #LifeAtEcotone #WorkplaceCulture

To mark Bee Needs Week last month, colleagues from across Ecotone UK took part in a photography competition to capture the best bee photo. The response was fantastic, with an incredible variety of bees, flowers and pollinators photographed from gardens, parks and wild spaces. It was wonderful to see so many colleagues taking the time to appreciate and celebrate the vital role bees play in supporting biodiversity. Congratulations to our two winners: 🏆 Lizzy Durham from Camberley 🏆 Aida Tamulyte from Beaminster Both will receive a beautiful handmade bee hotel, crafted by the very talented, Jean-René Grailhe. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and shared their brilliant photos. #BeeNeedsWeek #Pollinators #Biodiversity #Nature #Sustainability #EcotoneUK #TeamEcotone

Our Head of International Markets, André Aires recently spent a wonderful sunny day volunteering with the brilliant The Tree Council and their partners at NYCE (Nature Youth Connection Education) in Bristol. Joining other volunteers from like-minded organisations, Andre got stuck in with weeding, mulching and watering the trees and plants to help them in the warmer summer months and to generally improve NYCE's hub, The Pickle Factory's, which is an outdoor space for community activities and events in Bristol.   We're looking forward to our teams getting involved with more nature-based volunteering later this year - especially as we head into tree planting season. #Volunteering #Biodiversity #TreePlanting #CompanyCulture #ClimateAction #EmployeeWellness #GreenLeave

Last weekend, the Clipper Teas team were busy spreading the joy of drinking natural, fair and delicious tea at Wilderness Festival 🌸🍵 Our Clipper activation was all about creating moments of joy, connection and plenty of tea-fuelled fun - from the living nature wall where festival-goers could ring the tea bell and receive surprise Clipper goodies, to personalised illustrations with their very own tea aura. There were plenty of spaces to relax, plus delicious hot and iced teas served in partnership with the Tea Stop! We're very grateful to the brilliant team who brought it all to life and introduced festival-goers to Clipper’s Natural, Fair & Delicious teas: Tom Uttley, Cynthia A., Caroline Rose, Gemma Grange, Lucy Jane Miller, Farah Jaleel, Jean-René Grailhe, Francesca Carey, Jess Summerbell, Aida Tamulyte, Ashley Kempson and Anna Tarbet. And thank you to everyone who stopped by to share in a little Clipper joy and good vibes with the team! #ClipperTeas #WildernessFestival #NaturalFairDelicious #BrandActivation #EthicalTea #FairtradeTea #OrganicTea

14 years. That's how long the UK organic market has grown consecutively which is remarkable. That's fantastic news for our sector, but it also raises an important question: why are more consumers choosing organic today than at any point in the last decade? I was pleased to share my opinion on this with Natural Brands, and explore how health & wellbeing are increasingly driving purchasing decisions, from growing concerns around pesticides and additives to stronger demand for foods that people can trust. For our industry, this presents both an opportunity & a responsibility: to make organic more relevant to everyday life while continuing to deliver quality products that better support biodiversity and human health (link to article in the comments). Thank you Matt Chittock and the team at Natural Brands for the opportunity to share my thoughts. #Organic #HealthAndWellbeing #Sustainability #FoodIndustry #Ecotone

We're committed to taking meaningful action to reduce our environmental impact, and that includes continually reviewing and improving the packaging used across our brands. Our approach is simple: reduce, reuse and recycle where possible. Here are just some of the changes we've made in recent years:   🌿 We're currently rolling out a new packaging solution on our rice cakes and veggie cakes to remove the plastic clip. The new pack design is set to save 1.42 tonnes of plastic on a full year whilst effectively sealing the packs and keeping the products fresh. 🌿 We invested in innovative Sift-Proof packaging for the larger Clipper Teas packs, removing the need for inner bags.   🌿 Clipper Teas string and tag tea bags are packaged in fully recyclable paper envelopes. Even the string is organic and compostable.    🌿 Our new Kallo Broths are packaged in recyclable cartons, which can be added to kerbside recycling. 🌿In 2018 Clipper was the first tea brand to launch plant-based, fully biodegradable tea bags which are also unbleached and GM-free - a pioneer in sustainable tea. We're part of the UK Packaging Pact and are fully committed to continually making sustainable changes that are better for the environment. These are just a few of the steps we're taking on our journey to reduce waste and use resources more responsibly. #PlasticFreeJuly #Recyclablepackaging #ReduceReuseRecycle
