<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cOur ability to survive comes down to sharing,\u201d said Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper of the Onondaga Nation. \u201cThis is a fundamental principal of the Haudenosaunee. Share what you have \u2013 this is meant broadly, and have respect for the individual, family, community and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of our featured companies are showing respect for our world in very meaningful ways,\u201d Lyons said.<\/p>\n
Ashley Basla, Editor-in-Chief, Deliberately Considerate™, said, \u201cThe overarching theme is the effects of climate change, which includes the pandemic being felt by all, some disproportionately more than others.\u201d It\u2019s impossible not to reassess our values. Now is the time to act. Now is the time to focus on the serious, not the superficial.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe included B Corps, companies that are certified by B Lab, a leader in economic systems change.\u201d<\/p>\n
B Corporations are certified and recognized as new kinds of businesses. They balance purpose and profits, doing good for people and the planet, including Barnana. They upcycled 100 million pounds of ugly bananas into snacks, taking a bite out of the 1.3 billion tons of food wasted every year, while supporting sustainable products that have a minimal adverse effect on the environment.<\/p>\n
We recognize and honor five diverse women lead businesses, uplifting other women, helping society, and the planet, such as Amy Denet Deal. Amy is a fashion designer that returned to her native Navajo roots, restoring, repurposing and upcycling vintage textiles, while supporting vital Native American necessities most take for granted.<\/p>\n
About Sugarpeel<\/strong><\/p>\n Sugarpeel was founded in 2011 as a lifestyle website featuring sustainable fashion brands, healthy recipes, product reviews, and insightful interviews showcasing successful women business owners.<\/p>\n Sugarpeel created and launched Deliberately Considerate in 2018, but it was a lifetime journey of purpose. Deliberately Considerate is dedicated to the brand\u2019s formidable pillars: sustainability, healthy living, socially and environmentally minded companies and women led businesses.<\/p>\n Deliberately Considerate supports, promotes and positively reinforces the good in humanity, while finding areas of improvement and opportunity to both motivate and accomplish more. By staying true to our brand\u2019s pillars, together we can make a difference.<\/p>\n Deliberately Considerate serves as a facilitator to shed light and empower our brand values by learning from innovators, those who dare to stand up for their beliefs and buck the status quo, leaders and dreamers that do not take the same paths as those willing to exploit fundamental societal good for profit.<\/p>\n
