ETHICAL BRANDS

We have been researching the best products, services, and solutions for decades. Our standards are extremely high. The brands that appear on this page are the ONLY brands we have identified to date that meet them – but there must be many others.

If you believe your brand belongs here – or you know of any that we should consider – please add a comment on this page or contact us directly.

Brands with a healthy living, sustainable, organic, or Fair Trade focus including:

Solutions that are highly beneficial to small businesses such as:

Do you have recommendations of others who belong in this list? Let me know!

Brands that sell products Small Businesses need:

Coops and consumer supported agriculture (CSAs) organizations such as:

Brands that sell products, services, or solutions bloggers and social media influencers use regularly

Brands that never compromise on quality

These brands are proof that you CAN still sell a quality product instead of cheap junk that fills up landfills and wastes precious resources!

  • Electrolux Appliances / Frigidaire ~ Although publicly traded, they are included because they build QUALITY products that last and have a strong Code of Ethics relating to sustainability and human rights.
  • Master Lock – building QUALITY locks that last and last since 1921
  • Rada Cutlery @RadaCutlery – Best value kitchen knives and utensils without sacrificing quality plus packaged foods suitable for camping or storage. Recommended by Kelli of 3boysandadog @momof3boys3702 (see Kelli’s introduction to Rada Cutlery Video) and in @CrystalandComp’s Rada Cutlery Review – her Mom & her Grandmother use them! American made, Lifetime guarantee, their gift sets make perfect wedding presents, and they have fundraiser programs. SLP program suitable for home parties, swap meets, or reselling online.
  • SAS Shoes - Comfortable from the minute you first put them on and wear like steel. I don’t know how they do it, but these shoes hold up through the way I abused them crawling in and out of computer room floors, rushing through the mud to a horse emergency, and wearing them every single day for years. There is no better shoe anywhere.
  • Snapper Mowers – the brand that refused to compromise on quality and one of the smart brands that said NO! to Wal-Mart.
  • Stihl International ~ Stihl USA ~ Family owned manufacturer of chain saws, trimmers, blowers.
  • World Kitchen, LLC and its affiliates manufacture and market bakeware, dinnerware, kitchen and household tools, rangetop cookware and cutlery products sold under well-known and trusted brands including CorningWare®, Pyrex®, Corelle®, Revere®, EKCO®, Baker’s Secret®, Magnalite®, Chicago Cutlery®, OLFA® and OLO®.

Local groups such as:

Dallas Small Businesses

  • Dallas HVAC Heating and Air Conditioning Installation and Repair: DFW Air King owned by a fellow blogger and her husband

These are the types of brands I would love
to work with as a brand evangelist!

We will only consider evangelizing for brands we sincerely believe in and whose solutions, products and services we actually use. These are also the only advertisers we accept.
