The Union Co. is an online store where every product has a social mission attached, for those of us who want our shopping to mean more than just consumerism.
We're creating a new way to buy things: a whole alternative marketplace where purchases are not merely goods, but stories of change; where they are not merely ends in themselves, but beginnings.
The Problem: The fact is, the everyday things we buy could be doing more: creating jobs, curing diseases, promoting access to clean water and healthcare, providing education, fighting sex-slavery, ending wars, and changing nations. The problem is, it is hard to find them outside of word of mouth.
What We Do: We are a collective of brands that have larger purposes than just selling goods. We hope to expose you to new ways to do good through a well-curated + premium selection of products.
What You Can Do: Each product tells a story, a story of true lasting, sustainable, disruptive change. We're talking about families; generations; governments; individuals.
Buy products + tell stories at The Union Co.
