What is a Green Chip Showcase?

A few times each month, we publish special advertorial tips about select companies and products that pass muster in the sustainability department (ie: we like what they are doing). We do make a bit of green stuff by introducing them to our readers, but our screening process ensures that profiled companies are bringing about positive environmental and social change.

Screening Criteria

• No history of greenwashing.
• Corporate Responsibility (CR) efforts and performance have improved over the past year.
• Top-level buy-in for social and environmental responsibility.
• Public disclosure and reporting of CR efforts to stakeholders.
• Willingness to participate in interview; willingness to discuss strengths as well as weaknesses.
• Products are sustainable (organic, non-GMO, paraben-free, recycled packaging, cruelty-free, fair-trade materials) wherever possible. (See product selection criteria.)
