The reliance mission

Reliance is an organic compost provider in the South Africa, producing 100% Certified Organic Compost from green garden refuse. Over the years it has diverted over 18 million cubic metres of green material from City of Cape Town landfill sites, preventing more than 1,000,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide gas escaping into the atmosphere – a substantial contribution to reducing the impact caused by climate change.

The company’s mission is to Grow Greener Generations, and it does this by getting involved in the community through sponsorships, tree-planting projects and developing communal food gardens.

David Parry-Davies, editor of The Enviropaedia and driving force behind the Awards says: "We are amazed and delighted by the calibre of entries that we have received for this year’s Awards, and seeing the great strides individuals and corporate South Africa have made in creating a more sustainable future for us all. Yet again, we have received high-quality entries from corporates, municipalities, environment and development organisations, communities, SMME’s, and committed individuals."
