"The SproutWorld pencil is a poetic product that symbolizes our approach: to protect nature and create a greener world." says Marie Bozzoni and continues:
"It was important for us to choose a partner with a link to sustainability, the main theme when we launched our first electric boat cruises. That is why we chose the SproutWorld pencil; it is simple (a pencil), innovative (a 2-in-1 product) and it’s 100% sustainable. Giving back to nature is a good philosophy.
