Visionary Brands with Purpose
More people are realizing the importance of supporting brands that make responsible, ethical, and sustainable choices. There is overwhelming evidence that the next generations are more likely to buy from and connect with responsible brands, even if the products cost more.
This is a significant shift from the recent past, and forward-thinking companies are taking note. We intentionally seek out innovative brands that people are genuinely excited about.
Company gifting isn’t just about giving gifts - it’s about building, nurturing, and maintaining relationships. We choose to work with product suppliers that are aligned with that mission.
Supporting a Women-Owned, Colorado Small Business with Wallaroo
Beautiful Sun-Protecting Hats with a Mission
WORDS BETH BOGDEWIECZ
Wallaroo was inspired to create functional, fashionable hats that are comfortable, packable, and effortless to wear so that SPF and UPF sun protection would become as easy as throwing on your favorite hat each day.
A Certified B-Corp based in Colorado, they proudly meet the highest social and environmental responsibility standards. As a leader in the industry, they take skin cancer education and prevention seriously. Wallaroo tests and rates all hats for their UV-blocking capabilities and uses their business as a platform to educate people about the importance of daily sun protection.
Giving Back to Communities with Parker Clay
Sustainably & Ethically Made Leather Bags
Founded in Ethiopia, Parker Clay empowers people in small, local communities. As a Certified B-Corp, they are using the power of commerce to solve social and environmental problems. They deeply understand that what and how people buy is an essential statement about value, and they practice what they preach.

Parker Clay employs at-risk women with fair wages and partners with Ellita Women at Risk (EWAR) to eradicate prostitution in Ethiopia. They work with local farmers and businesses around Addis Ababa to source leather. They also intentionally develop durable and high-quality designs for the long term and use processes that make as little environmental impact as possible.
