The History of ‘Stuff’

Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolutions in the 18th century, humankind transitioned to new processes of design, manufacturing and production. This enabled access to goods the likes that we had never seen, bringing incredible new opportunities from businesses and consumers alike.

These innovations influenced almost every aspect of our daily lives, yet by the 21st century we are all witness to the impacts these technological advances and our new consumer habits were having on people and planet. It was time for change.

A New Era

Today, we are faced with urgently reversing these impacts of industry and consumption, and never has the time been better for disrupting old models and replacing with new. To reinvent the nature of our consumption, in pursuit of a regenerative ‘circular economy’ that aims to redefine growth, and focus on positive society-wide benefits.

With thousands of visionary brands worldwide, and an army of conscious consumers ready to embrace them, we needed a platform that could bring these change-makers together…

Enter Veo

Veo represents the future of retail. An online shopping community for people and businesses to connect, shop, and change the world. We aim to redefine the nature of consumerism, and shift perceptions of sustainability to both accessible and aspirational.

Veo is a vital future-facing alternative to other platforms that fall short of these ideals. We’re seeking to solve huge real world problems, empower the consumer, and champion ethics and sustainable brands.

We’re on a mission to make ‘sustainable’ mainstream.

Our Three Pillars

Kind

Promoting dignity and quality of life for all humans and animals. This includes fair pay and safe & decent working conditions for all workers, plus 100% vegan-friendly with no animals or by-products, across the supply chain.

Healthy

Promoting health & happiness for mind, body, and soul, to nourish inside and out, and living free from toxins, harmful ingredients, and hazardous substances, for a clean, vibrant, healthy lifestyle.

Sustainable

Promoting planet awareness, sustainability and biodiversity. Creating regenerative models of design & manufacture, looking to Circular Economy and Doughnut Economics sustainable development.

The Ellen Macarthur Foundation describes a Circular Economy as one that looks “beyond the current take-make-dispose extractive industrial model”, and “represents a systemic shift… [that] aims to redefine growth, focus on positive society-wide benefits… build long-term resilience, business and economic opportunities, and provide environmental and societal benefits.”

why we choose sustainability

We’re on a mission to make ‘sustainable’ mainstream.

Kind, healthy, sustainable: good for the earth and everyone on it.

Our goal is to make ‘sustainable shopping’ the standard, the accessible, the aspirational… a beautiful new normal.

Veo seeks to transform how we live, how we produce, and how we consume. To disrupt antiquated economics, and introduce new and positive systems – regenerative, closed loop, circular systems – that reinvent the relationship between business and consumer. To form the catalyst for change, that inspires a profound shift from alternative to aspirational, revamping the very nature of supply and demand for the better.

For us, sustainability isn’t a choice, but a necessity. Providing a community for consumers to lead healthier and happier lives through sustainable choices, and use of products that not only last longer, but are higher quality and are the better alternatives to those widely available.

In line with Sustainable Development Goal #12, to “ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”, Veo ensures all brands and products utilise pioneering methods of sustainable production. This includes more efficient use of our natural resources, and using innovative bio-materials, organic fabrics, and less wasteful practices. This allows us to curate our collections of the highest quality products, in a graceful balance of sustainability and sophistication.
