Socially Conscious Organizations that GMTA admires
SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE ADMIRE AND WANT TO WIN
At GMTA, we aspire to be the firm where socially conscious entrepreneurs come to get the business support and resources they need to thrive and have a positive impact on society and the environment.
And our vision is to be known as the firm that helps socially conscious entrepreneurs and organizations become industry and global leading companies.
Accordingly, we want to highlight the socially conscious organizations that we have been impressed by and want to share.
What do we consider socially conscious an organization: quality thoughtful products and services + quality customer service + consider the environment and eco-friendly + positively contribute to their community + fair pay + fair trade + safe working conditions + human rights.
Note we will continue to update this page as we come across more and more organizations.
Fair Trade Federation:
“is a collaborative approach to business and development that prioritizes dialogue, transparency, and mutual respect. It seeks to rebalance the global trading system, promoting greater equity and justice for all. Through partnerships, fair traders work in solidarity with small-scale farmers, artisans, marginalized communities, consumers, and enterprises worldwide, supporting access to markets, sustainable livelihoods, shared expertise, and high-quality, unique products.” They “recognize the inherent value and dignity of all individuals and communities, and [] work to dismantle systems of oppression and inequality. Together, [they] promote fair trade practices, equitable payment, and safe working conditions. [They] honor the rights and agency of children, communities, and the environment. By working in solidarity, we can create a world where trade is a force for good, and where all people can thrive with dignity and respect.”
Fair Talks Podcast:
“the FAIR Talks Podcast explores solutions for global challenges like poverty, sustainability, and ethical trade. [They] dive into fair trade, conscious consumerism, and social entrepreneurship with industry experts, changemakers, and those working on the front lines. Whether you're looking to make informed daily choices or start a purpose-driven business, you'll gain actionable insights to be part of the solution.”
Wild Alaskan Seafood Company:
“Intentionally sourced means that all products, from seafood to spices to produce, are obtained in a manner that respects local communities and environments where these goods are harvested or produced. This means prioritizing partners who can provide transparent supply chains, support local economies, and demonstrate sustainable fishing, growing, and logistics practices.”
“Environmental stewardship focuses on minimizing the ecological footprint of sourcing, producing, catching, growing, packaging, and distributing food. Wild Alaskan Company commits to practices that minimize human exploitation/manipulation of Mother Nature, conserve natural resources, and promote biodiversity.”
Canaan Palestine:
“Over 2,400 artisan family farms across 52 villages partner with us, carrying forward the rich Canaanite heritage through year-round engagement and long-term commitment. Rooted in fair trade principles, we ensure transparency, direct payments, fair prices, empowering traditional farming communities. As agriculture remains Palestine’s vital heartbeat, we strive to enhance its place in the modern economy by increasing farm returns, investing in community development, and fostering competitiveness in the marketplace. Our holistic model not only preserves this enduring agricultural legacy but also uplifts these communities.”
