Governance

Advertisements & Promotions
- Greener Practice is a not-for-profit community interest company. As set out in the Principles we may undertake activities that responsibly support the ongoing financial sustainability of the CIC so that we can continue delivering long-term community benefit.

- All advertisements, promotions and sponsorships will be clearly labelled.
