Certified B Corporations®, or B Corps™, are internationally-certified businesses working to redefine what success looks like—spoiler alert: it's about so much more than just making money.
Instead, this community of businesses is driving a movement to create a balance between people, planet, and profit in a way that benefits everyone. Here's how Downeast is making a difference.
We are working to improve benefits and policies that make a meaningful difference to our employees and communities.
We also recognized the Malouf Foundation as our official charitable partner. A portion of Downeast proceeds support their flagship cause. Together, we work to support survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation.
Downeast is joining the bigger cause of helping to shift global culture away from the damaging, disposable consumer lifestyle of the past toward a responsible and sustainable way forward.
By July of 2021 our goal is to significantly pivot from fast fashion toward sustainable apparel. The result? An 80 percent increase in clothing and accessories with a purpose.
Downeast Home is currently transitioning toward sustainable fabrics on select upholstered furniture pieces. We are currently in the testing period of development but look forward to sharing our progress soon.
Additional Programs:
Style and expression are at the heart of our homes and wardrobes. Our in-house furniture and apparel designs balance comfort, function, and aesthetic in a way that’s instantly aspirational—while supporting you as you live your best life.
Because each furniture item and apparel piece is designed and directed in-house, we control the quality level and can ensure durability standards meet the needs of our customers’ fast-paced, purposeful lives.
