    The key is working with the willing! The change needs to come not only from the “TOP” it needs to start from the ground up and education about the importance of “WHY” is the key to making this transformation happen. This awesome video hopefully will explain the rest. As the Tongan proverb wisely states ‘koe tapuaki ‘oe ngaue lelei, koe toe lahi ange ‘ae ngaue lelei ‘ The blessing of good work is the abundance and ability to accomplish more great work.

    This year Trow was fortunate enough to be named finalists for Excellence in Innovation at the 2Degree Business Awards 2023. In this video, we see our Operations maven Lili Ta’ufo’ou discuss who we are as a company, what motivates us to continue our efforts in creating sustainable solution and what drives us most as a company viewing the Circular Economy through a Pasifika lens.
