BECOME A MEMBER AND SAVE THE PLANET



I’v just had a long discussion with my team and we have decided to stop issuing plastic cards, they are bad for the environment and we are committed to being part of the solution.

With immediate effect; Marinacraft.com will only issue “e-Membercards” the single biggest questions we get asked is:

What if I don’t have my card when I go to your Showroom?
Easy, if you can remember your name and e-mail address (or alternatively your phone number) then we can access your membership code and you can enjoy your discounts in store.

In addition, the (previous) cost of making the plastic cards will be diverted towards planting trees. 1 tree will be planted for every e-Membercard issued. The amount we would have spent on making the cards will now go towards making the world a better place. This is above and beyond our commitment to spend 1% of revenue towards planting trees.

The organization that we have partnered with in this effort is the “The Nature Conservancy” They are the No1 ranked conservation organization, world wide:
How they spend their money?
  • 80.2% of expenses go towards conservation projects
  • 11.4% of expenses go towards administration
  • 8.3% of expenses go towards fundraising
Because they are an established organization they have reached fantastic economies of scale especially in their tree planting efforts. Marinacraft.com will be partnering with the Nature Conservancy specifically on their 1BILLION tree campaign. I have included a link to their site for your reference:


We welcome any and all enquiries about this new policy, just shoot an e-mail to marinacraft.kl@gmail.com
