If you are committed to be greener, these sustainable brands are for you!

Even before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, a growing number of consumers throughout the world were seeking for a more sustainable and healthier lifestyle. According to the 2020 GlobeScan Healthy & Sustainable Living report, consumer sentiment toward living more sustainably started rising in 2019, with almost three-quarters of survey respondents indicating a desire to lessen their environmental impact.

Desiring to be greener is however different from changing daily behaviours, from preferring organic over processed food or from riding a bike rather than driving. The report reveals that people are discouraged from actions that seem to difficult or demanding.

However, deciding to have an eco-friendly lifestyle is surprisingly easy today! Several brands are now making commitments to ethical conscience and environmental sustainability.

Here is a list of our favourite sustainable brands in the UK… let them inspire you and enjoy your new ethical and sustainable life!
