Your Sustainable, Black, Indigenous, and POC-Owned Supply Chain

Your Sustainable, Black, Indigenous, and POC-Owned Supply Chain

As a black and brown women owned business, A.R Marketing House has a vested interest in environmental justice, peace, and uplifting sustainable businesses owned by people of color. We’ve reached a point in our world where we need all hands on deck for radical change that ensures a cleaner, just future for everyone. That means sharing resources, supply chain information, and educational tools that help us advance a mission that pulls our collective genius, honor, and shared planet forward.

This blog article is just a start to highlight some of the many key products owned by black, brown, and indigenous people that anyone can start purchasing from now. Our goal is to make this an introduction because there are so many businesses to catalog (add your business to the directory). Because the list is so long and ever-growing, we’re developing a comprehensive database to help buyers and consumers source sustainable supplies from businesses of color. If you would like to add your business to this directory, please fill out this form.

You will also find Environmental Justice resources to use and share with allies as we navigate our path forward together. Let’s Dive in!

Environmental Justice Resources

Communities of color are more susceptible to the effects of climate change and environmental degradation, yet contribute less to pollution and do not benefit from pollution financially or any other compensatory way. The voice of black and brown people in the United States and around the world needs to build businesses that contribute to sustainable development to advance our collective good. We need full collaboration, respect, and justice on sustainability for people of color and indigenous communities, to deconstruct the harm of colonialism, which has continued to exploit black and brown communities since before the times of chattel slavery and the trail of tears. Here are some incredible resources for protesters, allies, and everyone who supports a more peaceful, just, and sustainable society.

Environmental and Climate Justice Resource Organizations

“Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. You need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures. From the crawling ant to the leaping antelope, we’re all connected in the great circle of life.” – The Lion King

As we move forward together, business, non-profit, and communities, here’s a list of organizations that are working toward environmental and climate justice.

Call to action!

Don’t see your company? List it! Don’t see a company you love? List it! We need all hands on deck for the revolution, whatever your expertise, your business, and your skill. We must align and build a voice for those working toward a just and sustainable future.
