Sustainability is at the core of Powered by People, a platform built on fair and transparent trade that values community, cultural heritage, and innovation. Leveraging technology, we create pathways to global markets, driving economic, social, and environmental impact. Dedicated to continuous improvement, we work with responsible makers to advance ESG practices, empowering individuals through ethical trade.
PBP Verified ensures makers meet key standards in sustainability, quality, and reliability to succeed in global markets. Through a detailed readiness assessment, we evaluate business practices, production capabilities, and compliance with our Social, Environmental, and Governance pillars. This verification signals that a maker is committed to ethical practices, sustainable operations, and consistently high product quality.
It’s more than a credential—it’s a mark of trust that sets makers apart and builds confidence in their ability to deliver responsibly-made products.
Since its launch in June 2021, we have grown to become a truly global company. With team members strategically located in North America, South America, Africa, Europe and South Asia, PBP provides real-time support to its community of more than 3000 maker partners—which are spread across 100+ countries. We will continue to work to expand our community because that is what’s best for our maker partners.
