The 10 Brand Heroes selected include: Amazon, Crocs, General Mills, Henkel, Logitech, Mars, Procter & Gamble, REI, Sephora, and Walmart.

"We are thrilled to partner with EarthX to honor these 10 visionary brands that are not only committing to sustainable practices but are also leading the charge in transforming the marketplace," said KoAnn Vikoren Skrzyniarz, Founder & Chief Catalyst and Community Builder of Sustainable Brands®. "Their innovative approaches and dedication to sustainability serve as a powerful example for others in the industry. By recognizing their achievements, we hope to inspire a ripple effect of positive change, encouraging more brands to embrace sustainability and contribute to a healthier planet for future generations."
"By lifting up the commitments of these 10 Brand Heroes at EarthX, we will explore the principles, practices, and promises of a more circular, sustainable economy," said Bill Shireman, Co-Curator at EarthX and serial social entrepreneur. "Circularity is much more than recycling. It is about moving from a take-make-waste industrial economy to one that not only sustains but enriches our planet for generations to come."
