The story behind Sustainable Souk
Sustainability advocate, Araceli Gallego created Goshopia as a platform for everyone wanting to join an eco-friendlier lifestyle. Goshopia.com is well known for its promotion of innovative eco-friendly fashion and accessory brands, but to make a bigger impact Araceli set out to create an umbrella event to gather together like-minded companies that in different fields are all playing their part in building a more sustainable future. She shared the idea with Ana Olmeda from F& F events who also supports local and independent brands.
The passion that these two share for making our planet greener was the seed for Sustainable Souk.
Sustainable Souk houses brands that are pioneering in sustainability and social responsibility making them more accessible to those who are looking to make lifestyle choices that can improve the world we live in. At the end of the day, there is no Planet B!
Why is it different?
“We see the urgency for society to realize that each of us holds some sort of social responsibility to make our planet a lot greener. The change starts now for each of us to work towards a sustainable lifestyle”.- states Araceli Gallego.
Ana Olmeda adds “Sustainable Souk offers a holistic approach. From eco-friendly cleaning products to water solutions, organic food, recycling apps, sustainable fashion, and clean beauty to electric vehicles.”
