JUDGEnergy is a green company based in Shepherds Bush, London, England.[1]

History

JUDGEnergy was launched by trained lawyer and entrepreneur Sema Judge in honour of her father, Mansoor Judge, who had planned to open a wind farm in China before his death in 2006.[1]

Hammersmith & Fulham News reporter Caroline Butcher described the inspiration behind Ms. Judge’s green store as “a daughter’s wish to make sure her father’s dream of building a better future did not go to waste”.[1] Since 2008, Ms. Judge has been running JUDGEnergy online.[1]

Expansion

The company’s first shop opened up in June 2010 in Shepherds Bush, where all of their products are available to the public.[1]

Presently, JUDGEnergy is working in areas such as China, South America, Africa and the Middle East, using technologies that harness renewable energy sources, including wind, solar and water, towards a more sustainable future for all.[2]

Recent activity

JUDGEnergy is currently involved in various sustainable initiatives such as the UNEP Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign, and has pledged to plant 10 trees.[3] The billions of trees planted by the collective efforts of the participants will contribute to biodiversity across the planet.[4]

The company has also planted one tree with WCAFI (World Clean Air Forest Initiative),[5] a non-profit organisation with a goal to clean the air by fighting climate change, deforestation and pollution worldwide.[6]

For customer service deliveries, JUDGEnergy uses ByBox – a company that reduces peoples’ carbon footprint when delivering products by forwarding purchased products to a network of 400 collection points around the UK, rather than individual homes.[7]

The company was featured at Greenfest in Hammersmith,[1] an annual festival for environmental and community groups,[8] and the Green Fair at Portsmouth.[9]

Product range

JUDGENERGY sells a vast range of environmentally friendly and ethically produced products from T-shirts woven from recycled PET plastic,[10] handmade Fair Trade jewellery from Peru, solar-powered iPhones and BlackBerry chargers, to award-winning ‘Rainwater Hogs,[11] EM Bokashi indoor composting units and solar and wind-powered street lamps.[1]

Timber Home Living & Log Home Living Editor, Mike McCarthy described the Rainwater HOG as a “smart and easy choice for residential use”.[12]

The Ecologist named A Lot To Say T-shirts sold by JUDGEnergy number one in their 2010 summer pick of top ten T-shirts made from organic cotton, hemp or recycled materials.[13] The company also stocks ‘clean air’ tree-planting kits, and chemical-free, biodegradable cleaning products such as window cleaners with organic lavender and oven scrapers made from coconut husk.[1]
