AGood Company
The CEO and Founder of Agood Company, Anders Ankarlid, always felt that his happy place was at his wife's family farm. For over 100 years, five generations of her family had been operating the farm through sustainable methods. He, on the other hand, was less dedicated to sustainability until he had kids of his own. When starting his own family, Anders became acutely aware of the climate crisis. He started thinking about his children's future and what kind of world they would grow up in. As a reaction to seeing the leaders of the world fail to take action towards combating climate change, he took matters into his own hands and created Agood Company.
Agood Company is one of the few climate-positive companies in the global e-commerce community. They're driven to provide a healthy planet for the children of the world to grow up in, so they can breathe fresh air, swim in clean waters, and enjoy nature.
Agood Company thrives from the diversity that working remotely brings. Anders enjoys working with people from all corners of the world and from all walks of life. It brings him broader perspectives about sustainability, how to treat employees fairly, and how to run a business on a global scale.

From Mindless Consumption to Conscious Decisions
Agood Company transforms mindless consumption into conscious decisions. They focus on each step of production, from the manufacturing of the raw materials to the way they're shipped to consumers and resellers. Plus, Agood Company is never satisfied with the status quo, and is always looking to improve their products and procedures to be the best they can be.
With his love for nature and growing awareness of climate change, Anders didn't believe there should be a compromise between quality and sustainability. Better deals and cheaper products often come at a hidden cost usually paid by nature. By providing fair prices, Agood Company always chooses production materials that have the least environmental impact, like recycled plastics, wheat straw agricultural waste, reclaimed concrete, or easily recyclable materials like stainless steel. They say no to cheap and harmful materials like BPA-laden plastics, and are committed to only working with suppliers who share the same values. Agood Company also identifies the potential environmental impact of all operations and makes sure to always compensate for emissions resulting from shipping and travel.
Agood Company is dedicated to complete transparency, never taking shortcuts, and refusing to become corporate. They have even created their own shipping materials from 100% reused materials that are printed with soy ink. Carefully crafted in a small, family-owned factory, the Stone Paper shipping material is functional and sophisticated and made without cutting down trees or using water. And as for their other products? Agood Company carefully chooses and monitors each factory where their products are made, ensuring ethical labor standards and sustainable resource use.
If that wasn't enough, Agood Company has teamed up with WeForest to plant trees in Zambia, Africa to help lower carbon dioxide emissions! The project works with hundreds of small-scale farmers providing them with training and tools to diversify their sources of income while they plant and protect local forests. As a result, they receive a higher income, diversify their economic activities and learn new skills.
