<p>According to a <a href="https://www.conecomm.com/news-blog/2017/5/15/americans-willing-to-buy-or-boycott-companies-based-on-corporate-values-according-to-new-research-by-cone-communications"target="_blank">recent study</a>, 88 percent of U.S. consumers would be inclined to boycott a brand based on irresponsible business practices. This might explain why more and more Americans are concerned not just with what they’re buying, but with how those products are produced. Thankfully, a growing number of companies are taking measures to see to it that every step of their production process is both eco-friendly and ethically responsible. Instead of only focusing on mass production and profits, <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/brands"target="_blank">these brands</a> go a step further to ensure the well-being of workers along the way and empower disenfranchised communities in the process. Here’s why ethically sourced products are always a smart buy. </p>
<h2>What Is Ethically Sourced?</h2>
<p>Products that are ethically sourced are produced in a responsible, sustainable manner without compromising the safety or welfare of the workers—everyone involved in the making of the item is treated (and paid) fairly. Ethical sourcing usually goes hand-in-hand with sustainability, too, and these brands often take the environmental and social impact of production into account.</p>
<h2>Benefits of Shopping Ethically Sourced Brands</h2>
<p>Shopping ethically sourced products helps empower local communities and ensures that your purchase benefits the right people. And the more people buy ethically sourced goods, the more  brands are encouraged to produce goods responsibly going forward. In addition, ethically sourced products are often made in <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/social/sourced-direct-from-farmers"target="_blank">smaller batches by local farmers</a> and manufacturers—which usually means you’ll get a better quality item. </p>
<h2>Tips for Shopping Ethically Sourced Brands</h2>
<p>You can find ethically produced products for just about all your needs, from food to clothing to beauty brands and more. If you’re stumped to start, try referencing shopping directories (like <a href="https://theartofsimple.net/shopping/"target="_blank">this one</a>) for ongoing lists of ethically produced brands. Another good thing to do is share your purchases on your social media accounts—it’s an easy way to encourage your friends and family to support ethically sourced brands too. </p>
