Veja

Apparel/Footwear

Veja is a B Corp-certified sneaker brand founded in 2004 that prioritizes transparency and fair labor practices throughout its supply chain. The company manufactures primarily in Brazil and Portugal, paying workers living wages and investing 1% of production costs into worker-managed community development funds. Veja uses organic cotton, wild rubber from the Amazon, and recycled plastic bottles as core materials, though the brand openly acknowledges environmental limitations including use of petroleum-based synthetics and challenges with natural dye alternatives.
