CSR

Playing a positive role in the future 

At Grow we love helping businesses become more successful and making a positive contribution to society. It makes us feel good.

At Grow we believe businesses have a huge role to play in creating the future. To us CSR means actively working with and supporting projects and businesses that make a positive impact to all our futures.

The Grow tree planting project

We like planting trees that will provide food, firewood, income and raw materials for future generations.

So far we have planted 70 mango in Mysore, India and 60 ebony trees in Tanzania. Ebony trees help conserve water, reduce soil erosion and are the main wood used in making clarinets and bagpipe chanters.

We gave to both of these projects through the Good Gifts website.

"....Just as I think it's important to run companies well, with a close eye to the bottom line, I think you have to use your entrepreneurial experience to make corporate philanthropy effective."

Green and Ethical

Effective and ethical - perfecting the balance

Grow's MD, Alasdair Inglis says, "I'll never forget the marketing lecture at university when I asked if the long term future of selling cars was sustainable.

The lecturer said if I cared about these sort of things I had no place on the course. Thankfully he was wrong."

Integrity, honesty, good ethics in all we do

Special offers, buy one get one free, limited places available, today only, don't be left out in the cold : these are all techniques that have come from the minds of marketing people.

They affect all of us because of our inbuilt human responses - and we love to help green and ethical businesses do even better.

We're human too. But we also like to think we have integrity, honesty and good ethics in all the projects we work on. We're always keen to work with green, ethical and social enterprises .

The Phone Coop, The people Speak and The Independent News Collective have all benefited from working with Grow.

Most importantly we have excellent working knowledge and understanding of the green and ethical market and green consumers.

Sector Experience

Bringing breadth of experience to your business

Over the years we have worked in a wide variety of market sectors. We are often asked, what sectors we specialise in, and the honest answer is that we don't. We don't get stuck into one way of thinking or doing business and there are always innovative ways of doing business that can be transferred from one sector to another.

We're always learning new and interesting techniques that we can share with your business. We're always cautious about the latest must do sales and marketing fad - we tend to need quite a lot of convincing, but at the same time we are always open to good ideas and new technology.

Architecture, Automotive, Charity, Coaching, Consultancy,

Designer Makers, Ethical Products, Events, Food & Drink,

Health & Beauty, Hospitality, Legal Services,
