AMEN CANDLES ENVIROMENTAL POLICY
Since inception, AMEN has been recognized both by media and by the most prestigious FOUNDATIONS on SUSTAINABILITY as INSTITUTO E because of 360 degrees of sustainability vision as The New Sustainable Candles.
AMEN considers a new approach towards sustainability, starting from inside ourselves. The more I love myself, the more love I have to give to others, and to our world. Nature is not separate from Us, and so shouldn’t be spirituality and sustainability. We believe if we all were more in tune with our spirit we would be naturally aligned with better decisions and solutions for our planet. It’s all about raising the earths vibration. We dream of a world like that.
