Our Impact

At Pura Vida, giving back has always been at the core of what we do. Every purchase you make helps us to provide sustainable employment to artisan communities, give back to charities, and help protect our planet. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve accomplished together so far.

Our Green Goals

We’ve always partnered with and supported great organizations like Surfrider Foundation, One Tree Planted, World Wildlife Fund and more to help protect and conserve our planet. In 2019, we also started offsetting our carbon emissions from shipping and we now offer the option for plastic free shipping. That’s a great start, but we’ve got even bigger plans. In 2021, we’ll be focusing on:
