We believe business is one of the most powerful forces in creating a better world.
At The Better World Hub, mission-driven businesses are an important part of our community. By supporting organic farming, you prevent harmful pesticides from entering our earth, water, air and our bodies. By creating democratic, fair work environments, you empower communities to escape poverty and provide long-term income and self-worth. By creating eco-friendly products, you protect our natural resources and ensure that less waste ends up in landfills. You are our heroes!
One of our goals is to get more people to vote with their dollar for a better world. Instead of handing billions to companies who don't care about our health, environment or the communities they work with, we want to share your stories so that people are inspired to support companies who are doing good in the world.
Opportunties:
After we verify that you meet our high standards (see below), mission-driven businesses have several ways to share their story through The Better World Hub.

At these events, we bring together community leaders and their friends and give them a chance to hear your story and try your products. Plus, we do social media contest so that they are also sharing your story with hundreds of their friends!
