What are you looking for?
Researching all options and making the best choices which meet our needs and taste AND are sustainable can cost a lot of time.
To make it easier, the Sustainable Business Directory brings together the 1000 best service providers, entrepreneurs and companies when it comes to combining business and sustainability.
I believe that it should be easy to make the best choices for us, our friends and families, animal welfare, employee well-being and our planet.
Welcome to this new shopping experience!
If you know a business that should be listed here, tell them about this.
If you run a business which focuses on offering sustainable services or products and put the well-being of your employees first, then please apply below.
The directory is just the beginning - we're building a real supportive network here, for all interested and working to make this world a better place. Trainings, workshops and talks by industry leaders will soon be added and offered to those who join the directory.

Then support those who do, and put your money where your ❤️ is.

SCHEIBCHENS GARNTRÄUME
PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I offer sustainable and vegan knitting and crochet yarns and a few patterns as well. Being a passionate knitter myself, it occurred to me that there are not many hemp yarns available on the German market. So, I decided to found Scheibchens Garnträume to fill that void, but today you can also find other eco-friendly yarns in my shop.

How Conscious Shopping Can Bring More Love And Freedom Into Your Life
Conscious shopping is something that has been on my mind, since I first saw a short feature on TV about a family who lived without producing any rubbish, when I was a child in the eighties. The idea of living waste-free, has become much more popular since and I still hope to be able to achieve this in my lifetime as well. But for now… → read article

Check out my new favourite sustainable electric toothbrush!
The other day, a friend was staying at my house, who commented on my electric toothbrush. And this comment made me realize how much I enjoy brushing my teeth with an electric toothbrush and that if given the choice, I’d not want to go back to just a regular toothbrush.
But what about sustainability?
Let’s test some of the best-looking & sounding fair & sustainable espressos
One of my daily joys is drinking espresso. One or two in the morning and one in the afternoon. Last year I switched from a moka pot to an espresso machine, but I’ve been drinking the same brand for years and it’s not necessarily one of the most sustainable and fair brands and so I decided it’s time to switch! → read article
We’ve tested three sustainable dog food brands – this is what we found out!
As I’m on my journey to reducing rubbish and living more consciously, dog food caught my attention as the big cans I was buying for the dogs constituted a big part of what I had to recycle.
Listening to Saving Us by Katharine Hayhoe, I became curious about the idea of feeding dogs food based on insects rather than meat and started to investigate and research a little.

Join the Sustainable Business Directory
Get listed in the Sustainable Business Directory
Thank you for your interest in the Sustainable Business Directory. It is about to become a stable institution for all those who want to make better choices for themselves, their loved ones and our planet. The Sustainable Business Directory brings together the 1000 best service providers, entrepreneurs and companies when it comes to combining business and sustainability.
There is no other community-based directory like this out there.
So, you've come here at the perfect time to get your listing, as spaces are limited to 1000 listings in the first year.
50 of those 1000 listings will be GOLD listings, 200 PREMIUM listings and 750 MINI listings. You can use the form below to apply to get a MINI, PREMIUM or GOLD listing.
The directory is just the beginning - we're building a real supportive network here, for all interested and working to make this world a better place. Trainings, workshops and talks by industry leaders will soon be added and offered to those who join the directory.
If you're not sure if this is the right thing for you yet, sign up for the free newsletter to learn more about Verena and what the Generous Life Movement hast to offer.

the idea
- How can I combine theory with practice?
- How can I be an individual within the collective?
- How can I care for myself and my family, and be of service to my community & the whole world?
- How can I live a conscious and self-determined joyful, successful, expansive and loving life?
These questions are the foundation of my work as a spiritual teacher, self-actualization coach & conscious entrepreneur because none of us exists in a vacuum.
Whatever we do, we need each other.
The better we feel about ourselves, the more we can have a positive effect on those around us.
Equally, the better the people around us feel, the easier it is for ourselves to be at ease with them.
Everyone I know and work with wants to make the best choices, when it comes to how they live their lives, and that includes what and where they shop.
But often there’s simply not enough time to do the research in the moment in which we do need something.
To solve this problem, I’ve created the first Sustainable Business Directory for businesses and services run by women*, non-binary people and allies.
If you would like to buy something or are looking for a service, but don’t want to scroll through endless offers you find through search engines, or on other platforms, trying to evaluate which are the people you’d want to support most with your business - from now on, you can come here.
The businesses listed here are all innovative in their own ways and contribute to a better world with unique ideas & ambitions. What they all have in common is the intention to create change, and to take our fate into our own hands by creating the innovations and changes we need - because we can and it's much more fun to do it together!
There are no formal requirements for a listing, but I trust the people listed here, that they are running their businesses to create excellent products and services and put a lot of love into what they do and that they are working to make our lives on this planet more sustainable, peaceful and joyful.
For me, running the Sustainable Business Directory is my way of indulging in what I love: beautiful and sustainable products induced and created with love and care, and to share this passion with you and all those who come here.
I also see this as a chance to support people who are brave enough to step up for what they believe is right, and to meet them here.
The Sustainable Business Directory, together with a podcast to highlight some of the business owners presented here, is a beginning.
Once it's all set up and running, those involved will also be invited to trainings, workshops and talks with industry leaders, so that we can really make the most of the connections here.
The content you find here is consciously selected and very well curated - because all of our time and efforts matter.
Sign up for the free newsletter to stay in touch and keep up to date with the Sustainable Business Directory.
Let's grow, and play, and enjoy all the beauty in this world, together!
Why get a gold listing?
To be the qui_ng of your field.
So that people looking for what you have to offer see your product first.
Because you are really proud of what you have created and want to share it with the world by showing off the beauty you've created with a big picture!
And, if you need one more: Because you want to talk about what you do and why, and inspire even more people on the Podcast and in a written interview with me.
There's only 1 Gold Listing available per category, and only 50 altogether. The Gold Listing will go to the first of each category to apply and qualify. Is that you?
PS: The podcast & interview also work really well as a beautiful reference you can use for your own promotion.
Why get a premium listing?
For the same reasons that you would want to get a GOLD listing, but the GOLD Listing for your category has already been taken. 🙂
Or because you can't afford a GOLD listing just yet. If that's the case, I'm confident that if you keep doing what you're doing, you'll get there sooner than you think.
We're all on our own timeline, and your work is outstanding. Go you! ❤️
There's only 200 PREMIUM listings available, and they will go to the first ones who apply and qualify as well.
PS: The written interview I'll publish for you also works really well as a beautiful reference you can use for your own promotion.

OUR WORLD NEEDS CHANGE.
Our world needs you.
In your full power.
Start exploring new ways to be in this world.
Each of us gets to choose in every moment how their life is going to continue, but often we don't make the choices we want, but the ones we think are expected from us. And that leads to chaos, unhappiness and confusion because we're not aligned with our inner knowing.
Once we realize that we have the power to choose and change our circumstances, life enters into a more natural flow.
But to get there, we have some unlearning to do. We need to uncover the subconscious believes that keep us stuck, we need to leave our comfort zones and stretch ourselves, and we have to form new habits that serve us better. And that's what I'm here for, I will help you to become fiercely interdependent.
If you would like to work with me as a coach, I can guide you to find new options that are more aligned with your inner knowing, and to learn to trust your inner voice, to clear blockages that have been holding you back and to open up space for what really matters in your life.
On this journey you can find clarity, confidence, love, freedom, connection and so much more.
Welcome
Are you ready to explore all that is possible for you?

Is it time for your liberated life?

To start becoming your true self, guided by me and together with other like-minded explorers. You are loved & so welcome.
