ROK Global PLC, the mobile and web technologies, applications and services company, has announced its online products retail division, JPSelects.com , has formed a partnership with leading eco-friendly accreditation organisation, Green Business Bureau (GBB).

The GBB promotes and educates businesses on the importance of sustainable operating practices through its national, third-party certification. Combining a cutting-edge online platform with independent, third-party auditing, the GBB offers a robust accreditation that demonstrates to consumers that a business has committed to employing eco-friendly practices. The GBB membership seal has become a recognized symbol that identifies an environmentally-responsible enterprise.

GBB's new partnership with JP Selects means approved GBB members will receive expedited access to market their products on JP Selects.

Commenting, Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman of ROK said 'This partnership with GBB is perfectly symbiotic as it will help both companies promote sustainable businesses to eco-conscious consumers in a very attractive, efficient and effective manner.'

JP Selects is part of ROK Global PLC, listed on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. ROK Global was co-founded by US Billionaire John Paul DeJoria, the co-founder of Paul Mitchell hair care systems and Patron Tequila and UK serial entrepreneur, Jonathan Kendrick with a vision to create a 'Better for you. Better for the world' one-stop sustainably-conscious online shopping portal.

'We are delighted to have formed this partnership as it will help our accredited member companies gain the considerable marketing support and reach that comes with being listed on JP Selects, not to mention the support of John Paul DeJoria himself.' Said Marcos Cordero, Co-Founder and CEO of Green Business Bureau.

In addition to JP Selects, ROK has pioneered the development of several innovative mobile and web technologies including high quality Mobile TV which streams video over mass-market 2.5G GPRS as well as 3G and Wi-Fi, highly innovative mobile-phone security and policing software which it licenses to law enforcement agencies and leading multi-language text-to-speech technologies.
