How does ConsiderBeyond define a 'conscious' brand?
As interest in sustainability grows in the Lifestyle, Fashion, and Beauty industries, definitions start to get blurry. At ConsiderBeyond, we define 'conscious’ brands as consumer-focused companies that actively address environmental and/or social challenges. These brands are purpose-driven and committed to bringing positive change through their products, services, and business operations. We want to shine a light on the brands that are contributing to a cleaner and healthier world and share them with our conscious community.

Why does ConsiderBeyond use third-party sustainability certifications?
Most of the brands featured on ConsiderBeyond are verified by third-party certifications such as B Corp, Climate Neutral Certified, 1% for the Planet, and EWG Verified. We use these certifications to analyze and identify consumer brands that meet high social and environmental standards. This ensures that our conscious consumers have access to the best conscious brands to help inform their purchasing decisions.
ConsiderBeyond currently uses 40 sustainability-related certifications. You can read about them in more detail on our website or by downloading the ConsiderBeyond App.

What does a 'conscious lifestyle' mean to ConsiderBeyond?
There are many definitions of what it means for a brand to be conscious or sustainable. These definitions are always evolving and will differ based on an individual’s values. At ConsiderBeyond, we don’t like to over-complicate things. To us, a conscious lifestyle carefully considers what happens before, during, and after a purchase or action and how that impacts our society and the environment.

What are The ConsiderBeyond Attributes?
The ConsiderBeyond Attributes were created to help our users find brands and products that are making a difference in areas that matter to them. Some examples of Attributes include Vegan, Women-led, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, and Ethical Labor. By labeling brands with these Attributes, conscious consumers can better understand the products they are buying and how they are being made. There are currently 22 Attributes available for you to select from when setting up your preferences on the ConsiderBeyond app. To learn more about specific attribute, please see "attributes" under "resources" on the menu.
