Comet Skateboards
Moving to a new town can be pretty hard. But if, like Comet Skateboards, one of the founding principles of your company is community engagement, making new friends is easy. Less than a year after relocating from Oakland, California to Ithica, New York, Comet has settled right into this vibrant community, preaching their gospel of environmentally responsible skateboards and civic engagement. They're not just a good business; they're good neighbors.
IceStone
If you're looking to trick out your home with the greenest products on the market, you could do a lot worse than IceStone. Their countertops are made of recycled glass and concrete and they don't cut corners on aesthetics or sustainability. They're attractive from cradle to cradle.
Greyston Bakery
How good can one brownie be? Greyston Bakery's brownies are delicious, sure, but they also help to alleviate poverty within the community of Yonkers. With a progressive, open-door hiring policy, Greyston welcomes people who may have faced barriers to employment before. The profits from the bakery are funneled back into the community, funding programs such as after school care, low income housing, and support for people living with HIV/AIDS.
