Veja

Veja is a French shoe brand who is absolutely industry leading throughout their entire business model. Since inception Veja has kept sustainability for people and planet as having the utmost importance

Wow, french kiss to Veja. This brand to their CORE embodies sustainability- which we define as for the planet and for the people on it. It’s not often you find fifteen aspects of the business dissected on a website WITH a complimentary emissions report available to the public.

From denying outside investment for the purposes of retaining company integrity to paying 5X the conventional cost of production to ensure supply chain worker well-being and minimal environmental disruption. Not only does Veja use organic cotton, amazonian rubber, reduced chrome leather tanneries, they’re also extremely transparent and forthcoming about where they fall short.

Every aspect of their supply chain is intertwined with 3rd party organizations to ensure transparency and adherences to strict standards. Their involvement in social movements (log’ins) from employment practices to increasing the economic value of standing trees in the amazon rainforest (fair for life) is admirable and lets you know this company isn’t just doing the bare minimum. Finally, the refusal to not spend any money on advertising speaks bounds to us at Thuja.

Jenise: Often times when we evaluate a company, we don’t expect it to exceed our expectations in all areas (product, climate & social justice). But Veja really did just that. It’s not often you find such a large company with such a handle on their entire supply chain. We also love to see honesty about where a company isn’t performing so well. Veja is open and honest about where they don’t have transparency into something. A lack of paid advertising also speaks volumes to me.

"It's only interesting if you don't hide anything, you show everything, including failures and limits. The things we don't do well enough yet, but we know full well we need to learn how to do better."
