For many, TOMS is top-of-mind when it comes to social responsibility - and for good reason! The company was founded on social responsibility that makes its missions inseparable from the actual goods that it sells. TOMS has gone from selling 10,000 pairs of shoes in its first year to giving shoes away all over the country and working with charitable partners in every industry. As the company states, "In many ways, TOMS has redefined 21st-century social entrepreneurship and corporate responsibility." We agree.

Levi Strauss solved a serious issue in its industry with hard work and innovation: the company actively reduces the amount of water used in the production of their jeans (which have been made since 1873). By doing so, they have saved more than a billion liters of water since its inception in 201. In addition to this, the company also helps recycle clothing through Goodwill, supports people with HIV/AIDS, and fights against climate change. It's brands like these that make us feel so good about shopping!
