Cariloha has its roots in the islands, and their passion for comfort and sustainability was born there – helping customers sleep, live, and feel every day like they do on vacation through their comfortable, carbon-neutral bedding, bath, and apparel. Becoming a B Corp was a natural fit for Cariloha, as sustainable living has been in their DNA since their inception. One of the founding elements of Cariloha was to find and develop a more sustainable fabric, not to follow a trend, but to forge a new path to help save the planet while creating a premium product to share with the world. Cariloha’s commitment to sustainability starts at the source — right out of the ground — and extends all the way to customers’ homes. They start with bamboo, working with it from farm to fabric, not integrating it later as an afterthought. Doing so allows them to develop and release lower-impact products to customers that help them live more comfortably and sustainably. The Cariloha family worldwide has always sought to do good for people and planet and, together with corporate and showroom teams from Hawaii to the Caribbean, they volunteer time, educate customers, and clean up communities through their Cariloha Cares, Sustainable Saturdays, and One Tree Planted initiatives.
