Mission statement
Miramundo Limited including its brands Going 0 and Going 0 Plaza recognises that it has a
responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are committed to
reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an
integral part of our business strategy and operating methods, with regular reviews. We will
encourage customers, suppliers, vendors, and other stakeholders to do the same. This includes
offsetting our carbon footprint as certified by Miramundo’s Carbon Offset Certificate.
Responsibility
The Directors are responsible for ensuring that the environmental policy is implemented. However,
all employees have a responsibility in their area to ensure that the aims and objectives of the policy
are met.
Policy aims
We endeavour to:
Comply with and exceed all relevant regulatory requirements.
- Continually improve and monitor environmental performance.
- Continually improve and reduce environmental impacts.
- Incorporate environmental factors into business decisions.

Products
Our products have not been tested on animals and we do not use ingredients that underwent such
testing.
Protecting nature is paramount to us. We do not use palm oil in our products because the increasing
spread of palm oil plantations leads to deforestation. Every year thousands of hectares of rain forests
are making way to new palm oil plantations in South America and Africa. This deforestation causes
huge greenhouse gas emission which accelerates climate change.
Miramundo pledges to carry out selective waste collection and to produce as little waste as possible
in order to protect the environment.
