Company Description

There’s been a fundamental shift in our economy. More and more people want to know that the money they spend supports things they believe in. Demand for ethically-sourced, fair trade, sustainable goods is growing rapidly. But it can be really hard for this growing group of consumers to find what they need, when they need it, from a brand they know is doing good for people and the planet. DoneGood is the online shopping platform that makes it quick, easy and affordable for these consumers to find the ethical and sustainable products they want—and know they can feel good about every purchase.

Two ways to use DoneGood to find products that make the world better:

1. DoneGood Laptop Plugin: Download the free plugin instantly on your laptop—then just shop online like you normally would. When you search for products on Amazon or Google, or go to a big-name retailer’s website, the plugin automatically shows socially and environmentally responsible brands that have the kind of product you're looking for, right along the side of your screen.

2. The DoneGood shopping website: Easily find thousands of products from hundreds of mission-driven brands all in one place. Quickly find anything from a ski hat that reduces poverty to a toothbrush that fights climate change. Forbes called it the “the Amazon of social good.”
