Jord is a new centralised directory of sustainable brands in Hong Kong

In case you missed it, last month, we met high-schooler James Wang, co-founder of the new startup Jord. Jord is an online platform aggregating sustainable brands and products into one centralised directory, making it easier for Hongkongers to shop and consume more sustainably. Jord operates according to a set of strict criteria, including but not limited to carbon neutrality plans, responsible sourcing practices, sustainable packaging, phasing out of unsustainable goods like plastic, and the use of renewables or carbon offsetting in their operations. The website even features an interactive simulator to discover sustainable alternatives for your home! We love anything that takes the guesswork out of conscious consumerism, so this innovative startup gets two green thumbs up from us.
