Like many stories it began simply with three individuals discovering a shared passion and
dream. |
|
Alf Orpen
"It is a common cry of many scientists and economists that within the next 20 years
we must implement a strategy to create an ecologically sustainable world and business
is the most powerful vehicle to expedite that outcome. The ONE Group business
model is a dynamic way to create positive change whilst building a business." |

Alf Orpen has over 20 years extensive business experience in the
organic industry throughout the USA, UK, South-East Asia and Japan.
His experience in organic certification had exposed him to a huge
array of products and initiatives. His interest was captured when
sampling an organic range of products at a market stall. From the
texture, the smell and the quality ingredients Alf knew that he had
found something quite unique. It was not long before he made contact
with Narelle Chenery. |

Narelle Chenery

"Education is the key to empowering consumers to see through the green-wash of slick product
marketing to recognize products for what they really are. Misleading labels and clever
advertising relating to organic content often mask the use of potentially toxic ingredients, which
seriously undermine the integrity of the organic claim." |
|
Narelle is at the forefront of product research and development,
creating what most proclaimed impossible, a certified organic
range of skin care products.
She not only created quality and effective products but also had
created what many thought impossible a system of emulsifying
and preserving products without synthetic preservatives. The
combination of Narelles breakthrough with Alfs expertise allowed
the products to go to the next level. Together they embarked on
the exhaustive process of obtaining organic certification for the
range. The process took more than three years and led to
Miessence becoming the worlds first certified organic skin care,
bodycare, haircare and cosmetic range. |

Colin Chenery |
"By developing the ONE Group into a world leading organic lifestyle company and empowering
business builders in key markets all over the world, we aim to provide a signiicant wave of
innovative products and business practices based on the values of sustainability and integrity
with nature and human spirit." |
|
Our representatives and customers gain profound personal benefit from
our products and business building and gain a vehicle for contributing to
the wave of change at a critical time for our environment and planetary
responsibilities.
