Ethical eCommerce Platforms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Status Gaea is Making It Easier for Consumers to Shop Ethically

— October 6, 2020 — Eco
Status Gaea is a new platform that's making it easier for consumers to shop ethically. Consumers are faced with so much information, it can be hard to make thoughtful and conscious decisions. This becomes even harder when considering the different expectations for ethical consumption in different industries, like skincare, fashion or tech.

Status Gaea is an eCommerce platform that takes the guessing away, as it only hosts brands that live up to ethical standards. In order to be featured on the site, brands must meet at least one ethical value point and one sustainable value point. Some of these value points can include tackling racial issues or animal cruelty. Consumers are also given the option to shop based on their most important value point.
