Seventh Generation, founded in 1988, Burlington Vermont, is a company that sells eco-friendly personal care products. Their mission is to create a healthier and more sustainable world for the future. Not only are their products both eco-friendly and cruelty-free (meaning they only use plant-based materials over petroleum decreasing carbon footprint) but they actively participate and spread awareness on the impacts of climate change, and how it is affecting our communities and youth. Seventh Generation has reinforced their zero waste goal by removing “individual wastebaskets and replaced it with a recycling system that has a place for everything from a yogurt cup to a plastic bag. We have filtered water in the building and most people use reusable water bottles or glass instead of buying a one-use plastic bottle. To help foster a vibrant, welcoming workplace, we’re also a dog-friendly office.” Maureen Usifer stated as one of the Chief Financial Officers in a Q&A. Furthermore, Seventh Generation’s 2025 goals include operating with 100% renewable energy fully committing to sourcing all-natural or recycled materials. It also plans to use solely zero-waste packaging and increase internal diversity. I believe that Seventh Generation is an amazing example of what a sustainable eco-friendly company is, as a customer I feel like their prices are affordable and you can find their products at local stores like Target, Walmart, and Amazon.
