If you're wanting to shop more sustainably but become easily confused about what brands are "safe" or not in this space, you wouldn't be the only one. With sustainability being one of the buzzwords of the decade, it can be hard to cut through the noise.

Genuine sustainability for a brand isn't just about being environmentally friendly — it also means being socially conscious, engaging in fair trade and being able to account for every part of your production process. So how do we know which brands are doing all this? One way is to look to the not-for-profit Benefit Corporation and its lists of B-Corp Certified brands.

A B-Corp Certification is the most esteemed sustainability award a brand can hope to receive. B Corps are businesses that meet the highest possible standards of verified social and environmental consciousness and practice, as well as public transparency. Essentially, these brands care about people and the earth, and are honest about how they make their products — and because of this, they're granted a certification that lets everyone know it.

So to help you in your bid to shop more sustainably, here is a list of local Australian and New Zealand brands — across apparel, personal care, and home — that have been granted a B-Corp Certification.
