It is a particular concern of ours to give something back to the forest that supplies us with our raw material, which is why we support the World Wild Life Fund with donations supporting the protection of the equatorial rain forests. ZÖWIE realised at an early stage that careful treatment and the conservation of the Earth’s resources is an important part of entrepreneurial planning and action. As far back as 1971 we pioneered the use of solvent-free watercolours and the construction of our own wastewater treatment plant. ZÖWIE products are marked with the green dot and packaging with the Resy symbol.		“Business people have got to be the instigators of change. They have the money and the power to make a difference. A company that makes a profit from society has a responsibility to return something to that society." Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop
