# Sustainable Sporting Apparel GoLite is a Certified B Corporation with Purpose By Social Business Editor | Published 2014-05-13 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golite References: [plus.google](https://plus.google.com/%20golite/posts) & [golite](http://www.golite.com/) GoLite is a certified B Corporation. You might have seen these [sustainable outdoor apparel goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adventure-gear1) at your local Whole Foods. They exemplify the big-time social enterprises that are becoming available for more and more people -- and those people who purchase their products might not even be aware of the philosophy behind the brand. And that's a philosophy that includes fair labor, charitable work, trash reclamation projects, transparency and corporate practices that allow employees to volunteer for an environmental non-profit with pay. GoLite is truly a well-rounded sustainable and social business of the future.
