BizLightenment- A Place to Find A Conscious Business

 

Part of our mission is to seek out ways to present better options to consumers who want to make socially conscious decisions when it comes to purchasing products and services. We recently became associated with a wonderful online resource called BizLightenment and found they share these ideals with us. 

On their site, they beautifully define what is considered a conscious business:

     
• From the BizLightenment perspective, Conscious Business is a way of doing business where the creation of value is considered the foundation for creating wealth.

       

• Value is defined here as contribution to both the individual and the common good

       

• In addition, Conscious Business recognizes the interconnectedness of Life and strives to be socially and environmentally responsible while respecting the sacredness and dignity of all life.

       

• It is business infused with what might be called “spiritual” values including integrity, generosity, honesty and service.

       

• Ideally, a Conscious Business operates with heart and soul and seeks to be aware of its impact on the lives of its employees, its customers, its community and the world.

We have a directory listing on this site and have decided to help promote this valuable resource by donating a Half the Sky Designs Recycled Juice Pack Silver Runway Backpack to support the BizLightenment Conscious Gift Basket Giveaway Event, a promotion they are doing this month. All you  need to do is sign up for their email newsletter to enter for a chance to win one of these gorgeous baskets filled with great gifts.
