'Conscious Step' is a brand that does good in multiple ways with its initiatives to help various causes and provide sustainable products.
The company sells its socks individually, but gift boxes are available to make the holiday season easier. Each gift set comes with three socks and comes in a specially designed box that shows the cause it supports, such as ‘socks that plant trees,’ ‘socks that save LGBTQ lives,’ ‘socks that support mental health,’ and ‘socks that prevent breast cancer’ — to name a few.
In terms of sustainability, the Conscious Step website mentions that the socks are certified vegan, use fair-trade cotton, have global organic textile standards, and participate in ‘1% of the planet’, which is where, according to the brand, businesses "donate at least 1% of annual sales to environmental solutions."
Consumers can help different causes one step at a time with a purchase from the Conscious Step website.
