We at EcoStraws.ie feel honoured, privileged and proud of achieving the Business All-Star Accreditation. Although intense and challenging, we understand that in business, the process of accreditation can be somewhat subjective and requires adequate, unbiased technical review to ensure credibility.

This review was conducted with the expert third-party assessment by The All-Star Business Foundation who certainly command that credibility. But it is the fact that first-hand feedback was required from our customers, and the fact that they spoke so highly of us, pleases us the most. We have worked extremely hard on customer service, so to see those efforts acknowledged and results of them rewarded, reignites the passion and belief that what we are doing, we are doing well.

This accreditation certainly places the spotlight on us, but it also highlights a growing campaign here in Ireland against single-use plastics, one which we are proud to help progress.

On Accreditation Day, we shared the stage with the country's most progressive indigenous Irish businesses. As we move forward, we look forward to collaborating with our fellow TRIBE members, and encouraging each other to meet and indeed exceed the standards set by ourselves and the All-Ireland Business Foundation.
