About eConscious Market™ We are a "For-Benefit" online commerce site based in Boulder, Colorado. (eConscious Market has recently been accepted as a founding company of the B Corporation movement. To learn more visit: www.BCorporation.net) We purchase ecologically and socially responsible products, sell them at or below suggested retail price, and donate a minimum of 10% of every purchase to the exceptional non-profit organizations listed on our website. We believe that Giving really is the New Getting, and we're here to break new ground to prove it. Our Goal? To transform commerce into a philanthropic enterprise. How do you know it's "green"? We believe in corporate transparency, so our online marketplace offers detailed educational information on every company on our site. This information highlights how each company is taking responsibility both ecologically and socially. Also unique to our model is the opportunity for each customer to choose which non-profit organization receives at least 10% of their purchase. Every time you Get, you Give too. We let our customers decide where their money goes from our ever-expanding list of non-profit organizations. What we are not here to do is to promote guilt-free over-consumption - after all, the greenest purchase you can make is none at all. Rather, we provide customers with responsible options when they need to purchase something. A For-Benefit Company - What's That All About? Our aim is to be on the forefront of the newly emerging for-benefit business sector. That is, to be in business for the benefit of our entire community. Our work benefits ethical and progressively sustainable businesses, non-profit organizations and the environment we all share. The time is ripe for us to explore new, innovative ways in which to do business with one another. People are ready: ready to reward businesses that not only care, but are actually doing something about the effects of their practices on people and planet, children and neighborhoods. In fact, when we stop and look around, we find thousands of people are looking for a change. It's time to make a difference and this is why we have chosen the for-benefit model. We believe the days of being in business for the sole sake of making money are numbered. What we have created, we believe, is an amazing opportunity for all of us to participate in reshaping our world. Giving. It's the New Getting. We think you'll agree. |
