Advisory Board

Steph du Plooy
Food technologist
“Giki shares a new level of product knowledge with consumers, giving them more power over their product choices”

Anna Swaithes
Head of Government Inclusive Economy Unit
“The issues around food sustainability are so complex, and everyone has different priorities. But consumers lack the facts to make informed purchase decisions. Giki is trying to change that, and the team tackles the complexity and the differences of opinion head on.”

Dexter Galvin
Global Director of Corporations and Supply Chains, CDP
“People have the power to change the world”.

Dr Richard Carmichael
Research Associate and Co-Leader of the Behaviour Change in Energy and Environment Policy Research Network, Imperial College London
“Research indicates that consumers want to do their bit for climate change and that they want much clearer information about the environmental impacts of the things they buy. “
A message from our founders

“We believe that everyone of us can play a part in protecting the environment. There is so much we can do as individuals, with our friends, our families and our colleagues – and that is why we set up Giki.
We want to help people live more sustainably and we believe that starts with good information, provided at the right time in an easy to use way.”
