At The Blomstre®, we've always believed that true beauty comes from harmony with ourselves, our communities, and the planet. From our hand-poured, plant-based soy candles to our sugarcane reed diffusers, every creation is a promise of kindness, crafted with non-toxic, phthalate-free ingredients right here in Hong Kong. Today, we're thrilled to announce a meaningful milestone in our journey: we're pursuing the Edenark Group ISO 14001 environmental sustainability certification. This isn't just a certification, it's a commitment to lighting the path for a more mindful future.
Why ISO 14001? A Natural Fit for Our Values
Sustainability has been at the heart of The Blomstre® since day one. Our founders—a creative duo devoted to slow living and craftsmanship started this venture to create scents that inspire moments of joy without compromising the environment. We use eco-friendly soy wax, clean fragrances, and even offer a Reuse & Refill program to help you enjoy our products sustainably (bring back your old jars, and we'll refill them with your favorite scents like Mint Mojito or Piña Colada—saving money and the planet!).
The Edenark Group ISO 14001 is the world's premier environmental sustainability certification, designed specifically for small to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) like ours. It allows us to validate our green practices through a structured program that fits our pace and needs. This certification covers everything from energy and waste management to water conservation, employee health, community involvement, procurement, compliance, emergency preparedness, and stakeholder engagement.
As we pursue this, we're not just aiming to reduce our environmental footprint; we're building a culture of continual improvement. Imagine lower costs, higher revenues, and even better employee performance all while doing the right thing for current and future generations. It's about more than business; it's about inspiring others to embrace conscious living, just as we do with every candle we pour.
In the words of our Managing Director, Jerwine Bonafe QUE:
"At The Blomstre®, sustainability is more than a practice, it’s a promise. Manufactured in Hong Kong, our plant-based soy candles and clean fragrances are created with care for both people and the planet. We believe that beauty and wellbeing should always exist in harmony, never at the cost of one another. Earning our ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certification marks a meaningful milestone in our journey toward conscious craftsmanship. This recognition reinforces our commitment to using non-toxic, natural ingredients and maintaining environmentally responsible operations at every touchpoint, kindness in every pour. For us, sustainability isn’t just an internal goal, it’s a way to inspire others. We hope this achievement lights the path for like-minded creators and organisations to embrace mindful, sustainable living with the same devotion that guides every candle we pour."
David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group, echoes this sentiment:
"When an organization pursues, and attains, the Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification, they are not just doing it to see their costs go down and revenues and profits go up. They are setting a higher bar for their organization and sending a message to all those around them that may be claiming to be environmentally supportive, but do not validate their actions with a globally respected, 3rd party validated, certification. Organizations that hold this certification are agreeing to adhere to the world’s Gold standard for sustainability certification; are allowing their actions to be reviewed; are choosing to be a leader and part of the solution, not the problem; and are joining an elite fraternity of over 300,000 organizations, in over 150 countries, that have committed to continually improving in every way."
How This Benefits You and Our Community
This certification journey means even more thoughtful innovations ahead. Whether you're joining one of our candle-making workshops in Hong Kong, customising gifts for corporate events, or exploring our collections like the HK Centric series (think scents inspired by Ding Ding trams and Double Happiness), you'll know your Blomstre® products are backed by verified sustainability. We're excited to share progress updates. Please stay tuned for behind-the-scenes looks at how we're implementing these practices in our small-batch production.
