You should only add companies that are dedicated to being ethical in their way of doing business, and concerning the products/services they sell. Also, only add companies that sell consumer products/services.
A truly ethical company is using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems and taking concrete actions to make the world a better place.
When adding a company to FirmHugger it is therefore essential that the company is making a positive impact through one or more of the following (or similar) areas:
In addition, the company should clearly lay out its social and/or environmental vision and values on its website.
In the end, it really comes down to the company's dedication in running a truly ethical business. FirmHugger is not for companies with only small green efforts compared to their core businesses.
A company must be approved before it can appear on FirmHugger's main pages. The approval of a company is currently decided by FirmHugger staff based on input from the community (hugs, comments, and concerns) and our own research on the company according to FirmHugger's guiding principles.
The approval process aims to ensure the credibility of using FirmHugger for finding/displaying ethical companies and products of high standard - and is therefore in everybody's interest.
In time, the aim is to make approval entirely up to the community.

Great company that was born out of a vision for a new kind of ethical fashion!
Veja is actively promoting eco-farming, campaigning against deforestation, and creating employment for poor families. Awesome!
Veja cotton is harvested by an association of small farmers located in one of Brazil's poorest areas (Ceará) under agro-ecology principles with no chemicals creating better health for local farmers! They harvest rubber in cooperation with local families who help protect rainforest and conserve local biodiversity! And their shoe boxes are made of recycled cardboard :)
