As spring and summer travel plans start to take shape, we’re shining a light on five standout companies that are making sustainability part of the journey. Embracing eco-friendly habits doesn’t mean sacrificing adventure. In fact, these brands prove it can enhance the experience. From responsibly sourced and recycled materials to energy-efficient manufacturing and ethical labor practices, their approach to travel gear is as thoughtful as it is practical.
Veerless is honored to have recently received our recertification from B Corp (learn more in our 2024 Impact Report). Part of our joy in the B Corp community is not just being a B Corp, but in forging relationships with other B Corps, their owners and team members, and patronizing B Corps in our personal lives as team members.
In celebration of March B Corp Month, we’re highlighting five companies we love that have earned B Corp Certification. Awarded by B Lab, this certification recognizes businesses meeting high standards for social and environmental impact, transparency, and accountability. Companies undergo a rigorous B Impact Assessment and must excel in performance, governance, and public disclosure to qualify.
These five B Corps are setting the standard for sustainability in their industries, from ethically sourced materials to partnerships that encourage underrepresented populations to engage in sports. They produce some of our favorite products while driving meaningful change.

Almost exactly five years ago, I conducted what I later referred to as a “controlled burn” of a successful career (LinkedIn article of the same title here). I left a sustainability role in one of the largest companies in the world unclear about what was ahead. My path to consulting was a pleasant surprise. A few consulting projects to bridge the gap to a new corporate role turned into falling in love with the variety and independence this path offered me personally and professionally. But the prospect of entrepreneurship was terrifying. In summer 2019, my husband and I took a trip to Italy and a tour of the Colosseum. I stood on the floor and hearkened back to the words of two of my favorite people – Teddy Roosevelt and Brené Brown – the story about the “man in the arena.” On that trip, I decided to go all in on solopreneurship, and nearly five years later, it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.
