The Honest Company is one of the first companies that comes to mind that publicly shows their christian values. Its a consumer goods company that specializes in eco-friendly and non-toxic products for families. Founded in 2011 by actress Jessica Alba and entrepreneur Brian Lee, The Honest Company has become a leader in the industry of natural and organic products. Jessica’s mission was to “to build a diverse, inclusive, and ethical company based on values of transparency, trust and sustainability and a deep sense of purpose in all we do”.

What sets The Honest Company apart from other consumer goods companies is its mission and the original vision the founders set out with. The company’s website lists all of the ingredients used in their products, along with information about their sourcing and manufacturing practices. The Honest Company also prioritizes the use of sustainable materials, such as recycled plastic, in their packaging.

From a business standpoint, The Honest Company is a great example of successful for profit company that is still having redemptive impact. It has also shown a commitment to social responsibility through its philanthropic efforts. The company has donated millions of dollars in products and funding to organizations that support children’s health and education, environmental conservation, and social justice causes. Alba was at one point Catholic and later evangelical before walking away from religion altogether. I think her company and the values that it has a are a sign of seeds that were planted and her search for satisfaction.
