In September 2015, the UN announced a new set of Global Goals for Sustainable Development, which include ending poverty, improving global health, ensuring gender equality and mitigating climate change by 2030. It has been widely acknowledged that the private sector will be integral to the provision of the finance to meet the public sector funding gap required to meet these ambitious targets.
Herb / natural ingredients industry: facts and figures
Facts re. quantities collected / cultivated
WHO estimates that 80% of the world’s population rely on plants for primary healthcare…
So, does wild collection serve sustainability or is it just self-service?
Conservation through commerce
This led me to thinking about how can conservation happen in the light of our inherent human need and greed?
How can business be a force for good? As its a major part of the problem then business needs to be an integral part of the solution –poverty, health, gender equality and climate change are all addressed with Pukka’s mission in alignment with the UN’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
How we can no longer rely on government and grants…. The responsibility of business to step forward and make a difference

To ensure we operate as an ethical and sustainable business, we have embedded certification into our business. Partnerships are vital for Pukka to fulfil our commitment to 1% for the Planet.
Eden is an example of how Pukka’s marketing partnerships create value…
Greater than the sum of its parts
Tea Box exhibit + sampling, Rainforest biome exhibit, The Big Lunch sampling, Eden Sessions sampling and other event sampling
Social Media reach:

YouTube 5900 subscribers, 4.7 million views across channels
Eden’s website. 2.4million unique hits per year Pukka page has had 456 views in the last year.
Teabox numbers are difficult to gauge but we can comfortably average 30 per tasting = I would say 25,000 tastings per year.
We don’t measure footfall in specific areas but I think you could say prime exhibit location at Eden with high footfall. If you include the Rainforest exhibit, trail, cafes, shops I think you could easily say 80% of visitors are aware of Pukka in some way. Dwell time at Eden is around 4 1/2 hours.
Eden Project – 1 full time Narrator talking to visitors about Pukka

Can we develop a survey on ipad to get a stat for social / environ impact? Any other way of measuring this? More people drinking organic??
